This was a Goodreads giveaway. The story is set in the 50s and there are footnotes to explain differences in society from then for kids reading today. I say kids as this is clearing a pre-teen book. It's goal is to help kids come to grips with bullies and body image. The use of the 50s setting is good as it tries to show kids that these issues have been around for a long time.

Which is a not use of media. Wish this book had been around when my kids were in middle school.
