Real Things

Wintergirls is the story of a young woman struggling to over come anorexia. New York Times Book Review contributor Barbara Feinberg calls the young adult novel "fearless."

The book was written by Laurie Halse Anderson, author of the equally controversial book Speak about a young woman who remains silent after she is raped at a party.

The author's website offers a Teacher's Guide(PDF) for the novel.
