A bullied gay teen boy with an eating disorder believes he's developed super powers via starvation.
Matt's stomach stabs and twists, pleading for a meal, but Matt won't give in. The hunger clears his mind, keeps him sharp-- and the less he eats the more he seems to have the ability to see things he shouldn't be able to see. Maybe even the authority to bend time and space. And Matt needs to be as sharp as possible if he's going to find out just how Tariq and his band of high school bullies drove his sister, Maya, away. But Matt doesn't realize there are many kinds of hunger-- and he isn't in control of all of them.

Thought provoking and valuable book submitted by Jinxyluis on July 22, 2018, 4:11pm This book really got into my head. I think it's important and well crafted and I sped through it.

Well done submitted by gxtan on August 17, 2018, 11:56am The writing is well done, vulnerable, and personal, even if the special powers get kind of weird by the end (the idea of the unreliable narrator is worth thinking about). Tackles difficult topics in a way that can be related with, rather than a condescending manner.
