A funny, moving, and true story of an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face that's perfect for fans of Wonder—now available in the U.S.
When Robert Hoge was born, he had a tumor the size of a tennis ball in the middle of his face and short, twisted legs. Surgeons removed the tumor and made him a new nose from one of his toes. Amazingly, he survived—with a face that would never be the same.
Strangers stared at him. Kids called him names, and adults could be cruel, too. Everybody seemed to agree that he was “ugly.” But Robert refused to let his face define him. He played pranks, got into trouble, had adventures with his big family, and finally found a sport that was perfect for him to play. And Robert came face to face with the biggest decision of his life, he followed his heart.
This poignant memoir about overcoming bullying and thriving with disabilities shows that what makes us “ugly” also makes us who we are. It features a reflective foil cover and black-and-white illustrations throughout.

Awesome emotional happy and amazing book that tells about a kid who gets bullied and thinks that hes ugly and he goes on this amazing adventure through life lessons.
i agree with Luna and i will definetly recomend this book for you
''Ugly'' is about how a little boy that is now an adult talks about his entire life and how he got over the bullying and I think he did that very well. I love the story and I would recommend it for kids that are going over a hard time in life and I truly loved 'Ugly''.
"Ugly" is a book that tells a wonderful story about a kid that had many problems in his life. The problems caused him to be bullied because of his looks. I like this book because it tells funny jokes and it made me laugh. It also tells a wonderful and sad story about a kid that is so strong and is a nice person and I would encourage you to read this good book.
