"Slob" by Ellen Potter follows the life of a seventh-grader named Charlie, who prefers the comfort of his messy, cluttered room to the complexities of middle school. Charlie is a unique boy with a passion for food, particularly the art of cooking, and he dreams of competing in a cooking contest. However, he faces challenges with bullies, friendships, and family dynamics that complicate his life. When Charlie stumbles upon a mystery involving a classmate, he discovers that he must confront not only the chaos around him but also the chaos within himself, leading to personal growth and self-acceptance.
