The book "Ugly" is about a kid born with a physical disability. He wanted to be normal. I think you will like this book because I did. This inspired me to be happy that people are different in their own way.

A funny, moving, and true story of an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face that's perfect for fans of Wonder—now available in the U.S.
When Robert Hoge was born, he had a tumor the size of a tennis ball in the middle of his face and short, twisted legs. Surgeons removed the tumor and made him a new nose from one of his toes. Amazingly, he survived—with a face that would never be the same.
Strangers stared at him. Kids called him names, and adults could be cruel, too. Everybody seemed to agree that he was “ugly.” But Robert refused to let his face define him. He played pranks, got into trouble, had adventures with his big family, and finally found a sport that was perfect for him to play. And Robert came face to face with the biggest decision of his life, he followed his heart.
This poignant memoir about overcoming bullying and thriving with disabilities shows that what makes us “ugly” also makes us who we are. It features a reflective foil cover and black-and-white illustrations throughout.

The book Ugly is about a kid who is now an adult, his name is Robert Hoge. Robert was a kid that faced a lot of problems, he thought he was different. Read the most inspiring book to find out more about Robert Hoge's life. I would love to see a book 2 about his adult life.
