May Blog #5: When Zachary Beaver Came to Town, by Kimberly Willis Holt, published 2001

I hesitate to pick up a book like this, but my mom adored it and insisted (even more reason not to read it, but whatever). It seems like it would be just the kind of book this would be kind of sappy, but whatever.

One good thing is, it is a really easy read! I'm already at around page 100. Also, it is good. Really good, even. I feel bad for Zachary, who lives in a trailer all day because he is reportedly the fattest man in the world. And worse still, now he's been abandoned.

I feel a little strange saying this, but the story has certainly got a cute factor that has won me over. And, the writing is actually pretty good.
