Balance It Out

Produktbeschreibung

Meet Finn Tilley, a successful life coach - who just happens to be 13 years old.

Finn gets a panicked call from his drama-loving best friend Charlie and he knows something big is up. Whenever Charlie is stressed, his voice goes up - right now he sounds like a chipmunk on Red Bull.

Charlie needs Finn's help. Charlie went to the doctor and found out his BMI is too high and he's overweight. Now his mom is threatening to take him to ICLI (I Can Lose It) meetings. Charlie is picturing himself in a room with a bunch of hungry old ladies, and he's mortified. And what the heck is BMI anyway? Can he just take some vitamins or something? Charlie needs Finn to help him sort things out.

Sure, Charlie has put on a few pounds lately - he has a scooter for his mansion, and his chef bakes oversized cookies, daily. And while Finn and the rest of their friends love being active, Charlie's new favorite activity is reclining.

Still, this ICLI thing seems a little drastic.

Finn is on the case. After all, with a mom who's a granola-loving yoga teacher, a dad who's a coach, and a sister who dances all the time, health and fitness is a big deal in his house. He loves helping his friends when it comes to physical activity.

Finn's cool as he starts investigating Charlie's situation... So why does he find himself getting weighed in front of the entire high school girls' volleyball team? Falling backwards onto his butt in front of the coolest girl ever? Or getting thrown onto some shrubs by his friend Chris (yes, she's a girl) at Charlie's mansion?

Meanwhile, why has Finn's sister become so picky and grumpy? (Yikes.)

Finn's that guy that everyone wants to hang out with, probably because he's fun and non-judgy. He's also great at reaching out to people around him for help. He starts picking up clues as to why Charlie has, uh, put on a few pounds, and helps him realize that it's not hard to be healthy. It's actually pretty fun!

In the first of The F.I.T. Files series, Finn takes us along for the ride - introducing us to his hilarious and quirky friends and family - as he helps Charlie find some balance.

Autorenporträt

Sue Comeau has been interested in attainable wellness and fitness since her days as a kinesiology student at Dalhousie University. Working in youth leadership through the YMCA and local Y Camp as a teenager, she started working and playing with kids early on. At Dal, Sue ran varsity cross country and middle distance track, competing in several national championships with Tigers teams, as well as with the Nova Scotia Canada Games team. She coached junior track with the Halifax Wanderers Track Club, and the Nova Scotia Legion team, as well as working as a student trainer, while doing her degree. After graduation, she became a Certified Pedorthist. Sue earned her Masters in exercise physiology from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She's a Certified Exercise Physiologist with the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology. Sue has taught wellness, exercise prescription, and program design in Dalhousie University's School of Health and Human Performance, as a lecturer. Sue got the writing bug in North Carolina, writing screenplays - with one of her scripts becoming a finalist in the Beverly Hills Film Fest. Not one to leave a favorite genre untouched, she also wrote a classic 'chick lit' book with Kathy-Lynn Lee and Camille Bonnell (both Dal alum) called 'The Becky Rules'. She's also written for several national magazines such as Canadian Living, IDEA Personal Trainer, and Canadian Running, as well as online magazines. After years of writing on health and fitness, and writing fiction, Sue combined the two with The F.I.T. Files, which uses narrative to promote fitness and healthy living for kids. While writing about a kid who loves tennis, she got inspired, and now plays as often as she can. Sue lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia with her husband, two kids, and their Labrador retriever (kid #3).
