About this book
Jenny Archer is a spirited grade-schooler who decides it’s time for a change—so she launches a plan to eat only tiny “nibbles” and reinvent herself. Her well-meant makeover leads to mix-ups at home and school, and plenty of laughs along the way. Young readers will relate to Jenny’s big ideas and everyday worries, and parents will appreciate the gentle message about healthy habits and self-acceptance.
