More interesting is "Grand Obese" by Cesar J. Rotondi (which was apparently his real name. He is described as "not fat"smiley. This is a story of an upwardly mobile fat family consisting of a mother and collegiate-age daughter and son. They use their weight to support their opulent journey through high society, but eventually are shunned by the rest of their peers, and become increasingly desperate. Eventually darker themes appear such as murder and cannibalism.


Don't suppose you know where I could get a copy, do you?

There was another Goosebumps book called "Don't Fall Asleep" where this kid is told never to sleep in one of the rooms of his house. So, naturally that's all he thinks about doing. One day he does and he just starts spinning through alternate realities. In one of them he wakes up as a fat kid.

In the third book in the teen fiction series Keys to the Kingdom by Garth Nix, Lady Wednesday (now known as Drowned Wednesday) was royalty at some point, but then got cursed. In the book she's a whale that's hundreds of miles long, but in one scene she uses magic to transform back into a human to meet the main character briefly on an old ship.

They meet in a dining room and as they speak she has to be constantly eating, quickly gaining a ton of weight until she sinks the ship.
