K for Kara 14: Am I Fat, Mom

Julie invites the class to her birthday party. They are going to the pool. Afterwards, they are having pizza. Rose asks if there is anything other than pizza, because she does not want to eat unhealthy food. Kara does not understand. Rose loves pizza. And she is so skinny. And if skinny Rose thinks she is fat, is Kara fat too?
“This is a book for 8–10 year-old girls. The girls will love reading about Kara and her friends. It is a friendship triangle of sorts, where three girls have to navigate the feelings you get, when you become real friends. A lovely friendship triangle about girl friends, that will resonate with 8–10-year-old girls.” Lector, DBC medier.
This is the fourteenth book in the series about Kara and her friends. The books can be read separately.

    Kara feels like time stops for a minute, as she walks to the end of the springboard and looks down. The water is far away. She steps off the springboard without thinking, falls through the air, and hits the surface. The butterflies go crazy in her stomach. She feels so happy that she cannot stop cheering. She feels so cool.
    “You did it!” her dad yells.
