deschatjes 's review for:
Ugly
by Robert Hoge
This book would be a great companion book to Palaccio's "Wonder" as it's a real life tale of a person who was born with multiple issues due to a brain tumor. The book is interesting in that it's factual and a first person account of living through this. However, it fails on a number of levels to reach its true potential. The writing begins very strongly in the first chapters, but then descends into a more pedestrian description of incidents. Also to appeal to students beyond the narrative element, pictures, xRays, newspaper articles, more medical information (at the right level) etc would increase the appeal of the book.
