Eating Disorders, anorexia, bulimia, whatever name you call it, it is synonymous with suffering and heartache . . . but what happens when boys find themselves trapped within a disease that society identifies predominantly with girls? How do they find their identity? Who can they turn to?

Thomas Drake is one of those boys. In denial, he turns to the cyber world, and finds himself drawn into the morbid world of pro-anorexia websites. Thomas believes he has found the support he desperately craves, but instead of positive support he is catapulted into a negative downhill spiral.

James Brave, uses his personal experience of ED and Body Dysmorphic Disorder to create a character, Thomas Drake, who speaks to teenage boys about their eating disorders in a way they can relate to. Thomas deals with the everyday issues affecting teens — Social media, Internet deviants, Family violence and Identity issues. Thomas provides a positive role model, and proves that Eating Disorders are not only for girls, and whatever girls can overcome, boys can overcome to.

This book contains low level swearing and teenage language.
