A friendless girl is bullied about her weight by her classmates, and escapes from her misery via Jane Eyre. And then a fox sees her, and she makes a friend.
Of course I can relate to a story about a girl who uses books as a substitute for real people, but I was deeply touched by the way the author and illustrator dealt with body-image issues.
It would have been super awesome if they'd made the leap from one girl's inaccurate self-image to societal pressure on girls as a whole, if they had centered the problem outside the one girl. But as it is, it is quite good.
