Jelly Belly Paperback – March 15, 1982

I had read this book when I was younger & to read it as an adult has bought so many memories back to me! I gave this book 4 stars because it was an excellent book for any kid trying to lose weight. It's a book about a young boy's journey to lose weight. Once Ned made his mind up to commit to losing weight...then he does just that! I Loved the relationship between Ned &his family too! Very good and easy book to read! It's a story about mind over matter & how anyone can succeed IF you make your mind up to just do it!

I just read this as an adult and still love it. What a great story. I think anyone with weight issues can relate. Contains a lot of humor and I love the grandmother! Kids will love this book, you should get it.

One of my favorites as a child. Now my son gets to enjoy the silly camp story.

Still totally relevant, my daughter in 6th grade is reading it with me! I recommend this funny, sad and ultimately uplifting book

The story was about this fat boy named Ned and he went to camp lean too. And he got fatter. Then at the end of the book he lost the weight. He was skinny and he felt great about himself.

Great to share with the next generation.

I use this book for my classroom kiddos who struggling in their independent reading. The storyline is reasonably predictable, which helps them follow the book with greater ease.

I bought this on the advice of a friend.......turns out he gave me the wrong title.I guess it would be OK if I were still young, like Ned......................

Brought as a joke present
