Getting into Millwood High, the "tightest" high school in Baltimore, is all that's been consuming thirteen-year-old F.A.T. (Fabulous And Thick, that is) Eboni Michelle Imes. When she's accepted, all that she can think about are four years of fun with her best friends, Michelle, Yolanda, and Charissethe TTC (the Too Tight Crew).
But life has other plans for Eboni. When her father finally lands his dream job, everyone is excitedexcept Eboni. While Dad's new business venture means moving the family to glamorous Los Angeles, for Eboni it means moving away from her friends, her crush Vincent, and everything she has ever known.
A charming coming-of-age story that deals with common adolescent issues such as body image, being the "new girl" in school, and adjusting to a new neighborhood, Beacon Hills High is sure to resonate with not only Mo'Nique's young fans, but also teenage girls everywhere.
Her coauthor, journalist, television writer, and producer Sherri McGee McCovey, currently serves as a producer on the Oxygen television special Mo'Nique's F.A.T. Chance.
