Dumplin' by Julie Murphy
“Dubbed ‘Dumplin’ by her former beauty
queen mom, Willowdean has always been at home in her own skin…until Will
takes a job at Harpy’s, the local fast-food joint. There she meets Private
School Bo, a hot former jock. Will isn’t surprised to find herself attracted to
Bo. But she is surprised when he seems to like her back. Instead of finding new
heights of self-assurance in her relationship with Bo, Will starts to doubt herself. So
she sets out to take back her confidence by doing the most horrifying
thing she can imagine: entering the Miss Teen Blue Bonnet Pageant—along with
several other unlikely candidates—to show the world that she deserves to be up
there as much as any twiggy girl does. Along the way, she’ll shock the hell out
of Clover City—and maybe herself most of all.” –Amazon

the darkened streets. There are rumours of a terrible contagion. From the richest
mansion to the poorest slum people have disappeared. The police have been
instructed to carry arms. And rats—there are rats everywhere. Someone has
stolen a certain plug. Someone is lighting a certain box of matches. All will
come tumbling down. The Iremongers are in London.” –Amazon
