Whoa, I think I have to read this! It sounds really good. And I'm looking for a plane book, too.
On a similar note, have you ever read anything by Hiromi Goto? I taught her short story "Stinky Girl" in Canadian Multiculturalism class, and she also deals with the "kalliarchy" issue by having a big girl with a wry wit as the heroine. That story's in the anthology Hopeful Monsters. Goto also has a YA novel out called Half-World that's one of the most consistently unsettling things I've read since Gaiman's Sandman.
