Elena Vanishing

Seventeen-year-old Elena is vanishing. Every day means renewed determination, so every day means fewer calories. This is the story of a girl whose armor against anxiety is artillery against herself; a girl battling on both sides of a lose-lose war; a girl struggling with anorexia. Cowritten with her mother, Elena's book painfully examines the horrors of being trapped in one's mind--and how those horrors turn girls into ghosts.
