Fat Boy Swim

Catherine Forde writes about an unusual hero, with a talent for cooking but a weakness for junk food when haunted by disturbing images. A bittersweet story of a family coming to terms with its past, about first love and forgiveness.

Jimmy Kelly is obese, and bullied mercilessly for it at school. He hides a secret he's sure would make them laugh still more - he's a talented cook.

Father Joseph, who's also the toughest coach at school, wants him to bake to raise money for a children's project in Africa. But GI Joe insists he give Jimmy something back, and a strange recurring dream leads Jimmy to ask to learn to swim.
