Winner of the 2017 Andre Norton Award for Outstanding Young Adult Science Fiction or Fantasy Book

"Funny, haunting, beautiful, relentless, and powerful, The Art of Starving is a classic in the making."--Book Riot

Matt hasn't eaten in days. His stomach stabs and twists inside, pleading for a meal, but Matt won't give in. The hunger clears his mind, keeps him sharp--and he needs to be as sharp as possible if he's going to find out just how Tariq and his band of high school bullies drove his sister, Maya, away.

Matt's hardworking mom keeps the kitchen crammed with food, but Matt can resist the siren call of casseroles and cookies because he has discovered something: the less he eats the more he seems to have . . . powers. The ability to see things he shouldn't be able to see. The knack of tuning in to thoughts right out of people's heads. Maybe even the authority to bend time and space.

So what is lunch, really, compared to the secrets of the universe?

Matt decides to infiltrate Tariq's life, then use his powers to uncover what happened to Maya. All he needs to do is keep the hunger and longing at bay. No problem. But Matt doesn't realize there are many kinds of hunger...and he isn't in control of all of them.

A darkly funny, moving story of body image, addiction, friendship, and love, Sam J. Miller's debut novel will resonate with any reader who's ever craved the power that comes with self-acceptance.

Love love these
Size: 7, Color: Black
Totally love these. I found them to run a bit short. I ordered a 6 1/2 (my normal size) - had to return them for a 7. But I love them.

Incredible large Chic bag
This large black faux leather bag is stylish, functional, and surprisingly comfortable to carry. The faux leather is soft and flexible rather than stiff, so the bag moves naturally and doesn’t feel bulky even when it’s full. It easily holds a lot—perfect for everyday use, travel, or work when you need to carry more than the basics. The dotted texture adds a subtle but elegant design detail that keeps it from looking plain while still being versatile enough to match almost any outfit. It feels modern and polished without being flashy. A really nice bonus is the included smaller bag. It works well on its own for quick outings, or you can use it inside the larger bag as an organizer for essentials like keys, makeup, or chargers. It definitely helps keep everything from turning into a bottomless pit. The braided handles are well made and sturdy, and they make a noticeable difference when the bag is heavier. The thicker material is comfortable to hold and doesn’t dig into your hands or shoulder, even when fully loaded. Overall, this bag strikes a great balance between style, comfort, and capacity. It looks good, feels durable, and is thoughtfully designed for real-life use. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a roomy, chic everyday bag.

Stylish and Practical Tote Bag with Bonus Wristlet
I got the GEMIU Tote Bag for Women and it exceeded my expectations. The ostrich-pattern vegan leather looks elegant and high-quality, giving it a chic finish suitable for work, casual outings, or travel. The large capacity makes it easy to carry daily essentials like a laptop, books, and personal items, and it comes with a smaller wristlet purse that’s perfect for quick trips or organizing smaller items, a thoughtful bonus. The shoulder straps are comfortable, and the bag feels sturdy yet lightweight. Pros: ✔️ Attractive ostrich-pattern vegan leather ✔️ Large capacity, great for daily use or travel ✔️ Comes with bonus wristlet for smaller items ✔️ Versatile for work, casual, or college ✔️ Comfortable straps and durable construction Cons: ❌ None noted - matches appearance and quality expectations Overall: This tote is nicer than expected, stylish, and functional. The extra wristlet makes it even more practical for everyday use - a solid choice for anyone looking for a chic, versatile handbag.
