Description
Bobby Marks hates hot weather. It’s the time when most people are happy to take off their heavy jackets and long pants. But for Bobby, who can’t even button the waist of his jeans or reach over his belly to touch his toes, spending the summer at Rumson Lake is pure torture.
Overweight Bobby Marks hates the summertime because he can’t hide under heavy clothing. Then he gets a job grooming the grounds of Dr. Kahn’s estate, and it isn’t long before he finds out how terrifying and exhilirating, how dangerous and wonderful, one fat summer can be.
