Ugly by Robert Hoge

3.0

---

I'd be interested in reading other versions Ugly, because this middle grades version seems like it just skims the surface of his life and ends rather abruptly. Still, it's a compelling read. Hoge has a wonderful sense of humor and doesn't shy away from discussing the difficulties he faced as a young boy. My students would definitely benefit from reading and discussing Hoge's story.
