Ugly - A Memoir By: Robert Hoge

In this book, Robert Hoge tells how he was born with a large tumour on the middle of his face and short twisted legs.  Robert endured many surgeries to make himself look "normal" and had to learn how to use prosthetic legs.  Robert is now a professional writer, but had to overcome many challenges in his life.  He dealt with hurtful bullies and showed a lot of courage in his young life.  If you enjoyed the movie or book, "Wonder", you will enjoy this true story of one very brave kid.
