Ugly by Robert Hoge
2.0

I mean, this was okay. I definitely think that kids who love WONDER and are looking for readalikes would enjoy this book because the subject matter is similar - a kid with disabilities and a facial deformity dealing with school and life and being bullied.

I *think* that this is a young readers adaptation of a book originally published for adults in Australia, which may explain why the writing is a little patchy. I purchased this for our teen fiction before reading it and I'll keep it there, but there's no reason younger kids wouldn't enjoy this book. I'd say it's solidly 4th-8th.
