BIG IN JAPAN: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 12580016B88741
English Summary/英文概要： Buck Cooper can’t remember when he became socially invisible-probably when he hit 300 pounds. Now he’s working a dead end job, getting no notice from his boss and no love from Allison Turner, the girl of his dreams.
Buck’s entire life is about fitting in, a feat he’s been struggling to achieve but has never succeeded. Until serendipity lands him in Japan. Right in the middle of a sumo match.
As his life takes a new turn in a country where being big can mean fame and fortune, Buck must embark on the most dangerous, yet adventurous ride of his life-to find the ultimate meaning of love and acceptance. Even if it means risking his life and giving up everything he has.
Peek inside the secret world of sumo, and cheer for Buck as he fights his way through the ranks- against bullies of incredible size-to win the heart of the girl he loves.
