Abby, a six foot tall 300 pound middle schooler with giant brains and pint-sized confidence. Despite her best efforts to be invisible she's pulled into her school's debate team by Tina, the adorkable new girl. Debate is something Abby thinks she could be good at, but her hopes are dashed when the debate topic is about combating childhood obesity. Debate now feels like another way the universe has decided to make her feel huge and small at the same time. Will she ever know what it's like to feel as big on the inside as she does on the outside? Abby's Big Debate is a charming, inspiring story about self acceptance, playing to your strengths, hard work, family, friendship and love.
