HTML:<p><b>A Schneider Family Book Award Honor Book<br /></b><b><br /> The instant <i>New York Times</i> bestseller!<br /> "Every so often a book comes along that is so brave and necessary, it extends a lifeline when it's needed most. This is one of those books." —Katherine Applegate, author of the Newbery Medal–winning, <i>The One and Only Ivan</i></b><br /> <i>But another voice inside me says,</i><br /> <i>We need help.</i><br /> <i>We're going to die.</i><br /> Jake volunteers at a nursing home because he likes helping people. He likes skating and singing, playing Bingo and Name That Tune, and reading mysteries and comics aloud to his teachers. He also likes avoiding people his own age . . . and the cruelty of mirrors . . . and food. Jake has read about kids like him in books—the weird one, the outsider—and would do anything <i>not</i> to be that kid, including shrink himself down to nothing. But the less he eats, the bigger he feels. How long can Jake punish himself before he <i>truly</i> disappears? A fictionalized account of the author's experiences and emotions living in residential treatment facilities as a young teen with an eating disorder, <i>Louder than Hunger</i> is a triumph of raw honesty. With a deeply personal afterword for context, this much-anticipated verse novel is a powerful model for muffling the destructive voices inside, managing and articulating pain, and embracing self-acceptance, support, and love.</p>.
