Synopsis
In a world that is descending into teen secrecy and silent struggle, this book remains a must-read for all young people. THE QUEEN WHO WEIGHED NOTHING is a fantastical tale that is an allegory to the physical and psychological effects of anorexia nervosa. The book is meant to help young teens understand the impacts of eating disorders and inspire them to keep fighting for a healthy future. Told from the perspective of an athlete diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, the book offers insights into the deepest ideations associated with disordered eating.
Sandy is descending into anorexia nervosa. Chip is struggling to figure out the orders of the new queen.
Sandy has not eaten for two days. A famine spreads through Chip’s province, and deaths mount.
As Sandy’s hair thins and she shivers in constant cold, the demise of the kingdom of Oriena has started unfolding in front of Chip’s eyes.
Although the fifteen-year-old Sandy, who lives in a modern suburban town, will never meet the twenty-year-old Chip, a medieval peasant inhabiting a province in the kingdom of Oriena, Chip lives within Sandy’s tragedy. Sandy’s body is the kingdom. Every famine, every death is the direct result of Sandy’s “diet” and brings the kingdom closer to extinction, and Sandy closer to hospitalization. Clouded by psychological distortion and lies, Chip must uncover the truth and save the people of Oriena. Meanwhile, Sandy, whose decisions seem to resemble those of an autocratic queen, must regain control over her body and make it beautiful no matter what.
Sandy smiles as an eating disorder is killing her. How can one stop a woman who wants to be beautiful? How can one stop a queen that yearns to weigh nothing?
