Fat Kid Rules the World

A Michael L. Printz Honor Book

Troy Billings is seventeen, 296 pounds, friendless, utterly miserable, and about to step off a New York subway platform in front of an oncoming train. Until he meets Curt MacCrae, an emaciated, semi-homeless, high school dropout guitar genius, the stuff of which Lower East Side punk rock legends are made. Never mind that Troyâ€™s dad thinks Curtâ€™s a drug addict and Troyâ€™s brother thinks Troyâ€™s the biggest (literally) loser in Manhattan. Soon, Curtâ€™s recruited Troy as his new drummerâ€”even though Troy canâ€™t play the drums. Together, Curt and Troy will change the world of punk, and Troyâ€™s own life, forever.

"Troy's voice is candid, irreverent, realistic and humorous. [A] wonderful, engrossing tale."â€”SLJ
