Thin Club is the fictional story of an eleven-year-old girl who develops anorexia nervosa. It is very well written and well suited for that age group. The author documents the classic path toward self-destruction that a pre-teen child can travel, influenced by insecurity, emotional distress, peer pressure, and the public media. It is a wonderful primer for parents and children involved in this devastating illness.
