(4) YA Orca Currents series. Eve has gained weight just before starting high school. Her good friend has abandoned her, and she's subject to teasing. A series of fad diets make her even more miserable, but gradually she finds new friends and mentors a younger girl whose problems put her own in perspective. Readers will relate to Eve's story despite a too-obvious plot and a superficial ending.
