A wickedly amusing tale with an unexpected ending. In #prettyugly by @davidsedarisbooks & #ianfalconer we meet Anna Von Ogre, a monstrous girl. Her manners leave a lot to be desired and she was always trying to scare her family. One day she made a face of such beauty, and it stuck! She positively repulsed her neighbours and couldn’t bear the shame, so she left home. Would she ever be able to change her beautifully dreadful face?
