Second star to the right

Second star to the right, is a book that counts as a 14-year-old who falls ill with anorexia nervosa. The story is narrated by Leslie M. Hiller, who lives with his parents and younger brother in a suburb of Manhattan. Attend a pure school girls, where met Cavett, who end up being your best friend. Cavett is a girl from the age of Leslie, which seems somewhat withdrawn, and to some extent, disconnected from what happens around him, though in truth, rather it is as if he did not care much that surrounds it, live in a Annie continual conflict with his own sister, because it is like a heavy shadow Cavett. Live it as an ideal and much of what she herself would be, but my essay is not about Cavett, but Leslie. Leslie, like Cavett lives in an ongoing internal conflict, but not his brother but with her mother, who apparently is the perfect mother that all would like to have friends from Leslie. Is loving, caring, friend of all the neighbors, and a range of qualities of a successful woman, but Leslie does not seem to believe it at all. I feel suffocated by her mother to some extent, because each accomplishment as if yours is gradually becoming a mother's achievement, and nothing remained to her. Every good day or fantasy adventure lived by them, seem to enjoy it more than the mother herself, even if it was she who had lived it firsthand. And that's when he came to blame. Leslie, lived with an enormous guilt, because every time I felt empty and blamed the mother, something inside her he scolded and punished for feeling that way toward his mother, that after all, was that his mother, and loved it, plus it was his duty to love her daughter, despite everything.
