Second Star To The Right by Hautzig Deborah
This is an honest and moving account of a girl in the grip of anorexia nervosa. On the face of it, Leslie is a normal, healthy, well-adjusted fourteen-year-old girl. She goes to a good school, has a great friend in Cavett, and a mother who loves her to the moon and back. She should be happy, yet she's not. She would be, she thinks, if only she were thinner. But 'thinking thin' becomes a dangerous obsession and Leslie's weight drops to five stone, threatening to destroy her and the whole fabric of her family life. Only by realizing that this condition is an illness - and one that has its roots in a deep problem - can Leslie hope to survive.
Deborah Hautzig was born and brought up in New York City. She always wanted to be a writer and wrote journals, stories and poetry from a very young age. Her first novel, Hey Dollface, was written when she was twenty-one. Second Star to the Right was first published in 1981 and continues to be an important book today.
