Hunger

Hunger
By Jackie Morse Kessler
Graphia, 2010. 177 pgs. Young Adult

Just as she is about to commit suicide, Lisabeth Lewis hears a knock on her door. On the other side stands no ordinary deliveryman but Death himself, with a package for Lisabeth--and a job. Lisa becomes Famine, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and as she struggles with her own anorexia, she also must figure out how to deal with her new assignment.

This book was interesting as it showed Lisa's eating disorder as well as her despair and confusion over how to be Famine. It's a fairly short read and could appeal to reluctant readers.
