Ugly

Hoge, Robert
This inspirational memoir recounts the story of Robert Hoge, born with a facial deformity and physical disability, and his and his family’s struggle to deal with these conditions. His descriptive language and intimate details provide a clear idea of what it feels like to be different, and how he learned to overcome his obstacles, self-doubt, and bullying. Suitable for a read-aloud, lit circle, or independent novel for grades 4-8, the book will engage students and portrays themes of resilience, understanding, bullying, and acceptance of oneself. Photographs of Robert at various stages provide a glimpse into his life, family, and friends.
