I'd give it between 2 and 3 stars.

It was alright. The plot was good and it was a quick read.

A fun, fact filled, sometimes gross, look into medical oddities.

A short novel with fairy-tale themes. The main character, Ana, has spent many years purposely making herself ugly to retain the love of her mother, the queen and most beautiful woman in the land. Ana does not realize how far her mother will go to retain her beauty until Ana herself becomes part of one of her mother's schemes. A nice, short read, but I wish there could have been more character development.

Thought provoking for teens concerning solving problems and how to handle trouble.
