Book Recommendation: Fat Kid Rules the World

I would recommend the novel Fat Kid Rules the World for anyone who is looking for a book that is comedic but has some reality to it. It is the story of a 300 pound, 6 foot 1 inch high school senior named Troy Billings. He has no friends, but with the help of a high school drop-out, Troy learns that he can still succeed in life. The high school drop-out would be school legend Curt McCrae. He is the one who saves Troy from jumping in front of an on-coming train in an attempt to take his own life. The two of the most unlikely people become great friends and help each other make it through the hard times in life. Troy and Curt don't just become great friends, they become something greater.
