What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Mary Beth doesn’t quite fit in with her family of ogres. She’s not green. She’s not gross. She’s not scary. But when Mary Beth has to stand up for herself and her family, she finds out she knows more than she thinks about how to be a proper ogre. This hilarious modern fable about belonging and finding one’s voice is sure to entertain readers of all ages.
