Der fünfzehnjährige Schüler Ian hat die Idee via Kettenmail eine Protestaktion ins Leben zu rufen. Er ruft zum Boykott auf Produkte der Fast-Food-Firma „Frankie’s“ aus. Anfänglich glaubt kaum jemand an den Erfolg. Doch die Aktion wird zum Selbstläufer und Ian bekommt Schwierigkeiten: „Frankie’s“ droht mit rechtlichen Konsequenzen. Zu gesellschaftspolitischer Auseinandersetzung anregende, spannende Geschichte. Jugendliche verfügen oft über mehr politisches Engagement als man ihnen dies für gewöhnlich zutraut. Unbedingt zu empfehlen. Ab 12 Jahren. Zu finden im Erdgeschoss: JE2, WALT mj (1.8.11) This is an ORCA book - highly engaging but easy to read. Perfect for struggling readers. Authentic depiction of teens, email, and fast food. Excellent blending of relationship drama between three friends, courtroom-style drama of legal people trying to outsmart each other, and real-life involvement in issues through taking a stand and using technology. The dialog is both realistic and witty. Full review: http://readingthroughlife.ca/stuffed-review/ Short excerpt: Stuffed is not a fantastic novel by any means, but it’s written in the (reasonably engaging) style of a teenager, which with any luck will appeal to my students. Eric Walters has done a good job for what the purpose of this book is – simple, clear writing with a plot that will engage reluctant readers. Ian’s 2 best friends are dating each other (Julia & Oswald) & he feels like a third wheel. His parents want him to be a lawyer just like them but he hates arguing. Then he sees a documentary about the fast food giant “Frankies’ that gives him an idea [ Read MacDonalds and Super Size Me]. As part of a media studies assignment he asks everyone he knows to boycott Frankies for a day via email ( how many people will he reach?) But then Frankies threatens to sue him & suddenly Ian has to defend himself from attacks at school, via email and more..p.35-43 Ian runs his idea by Julia & Oswald nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Alright, so this was a (sucky) school reading. Since, where I live, we speak in French, our English reads are tiny. And, I mean, this book had big writing and was LITTLE! I don't think you can call this a book; I'd call this a STORY.
*sigh* So, the meaning of this book was good, and that's what kept me from giving it 1 star, but, otherwise, the writing had nothing special; the vocabulary wasn't developed (I think that was done on purpose, actually) and the story was juvenile (again, probably on purpose *sigh*)
Overall; DO. NOT. READ. THIS. BOOK.
Thank you! ( )
