In a world dominated by social networking websites, mobile phones and television, can one high school student make it through 207 days without junk food or modern technology? So goes the premise of Robin Brande’s latest novel, Fat Cat . Cat is your typical lovable heroine. Slightly overweight, hilarious, ambitious and kind, she’s bumbling through life as most teens do, worrying about boys, school projects and her looks. However, her latest science project changes her life forever, when she decides to live like the hominids, the earliest human ancestors. She cuts out television, her car, junk food, caffeine – the lot, all in the name of science.... Click here for more of the curledupkids.com review of Robin Brande's Fat Cat.
