The Cat Ate My Gym Suit by Paula Danziger- Alannah: Travel Tracer

For this Literacy Circles meeting, I was the travel tracer, meaning that I describe the places where the book and the protagonist go to:

The book starts at Marcy's school, which is a very large school with many children. I imagine the school as a large cement institution with many wide windows with a white lining. Marcy says that there are many students in each classroom, causing chaos, as many of the students enjoy disobeying the rules. 

The book then goes to Marcy's home, which she describes as loud. She has a four year old brother who idolises her and who desperately wants to be her best friend. Her father also always shouts at her because she is overweight. This causes insecurity about her body shape.
