                                    Summary: Whenever Maggie gets upset or overwhelmed she
                                    eats candy. LOTS of candy. So her aunt drags her off to Pound
                                    Patrollers- an experience she's mortified by. What she doesn't
                                    know is that it will change her life for forever.

                                    Rating: I give this book a 4.

                                    Opinion: Maggie annoyed me sometimes at how easily she got
                                    depressed. But she does grow on you. Her friend Aimee is the
                                    best, most supportive friend you could hope for. Her other
                                    friend (and more, but no spoiler alert!) Arnie understands her
                                    struggle with her weight. Overall a very good series.
