Bookroo's summary
Lucinda Belinda, the school's beauty queen, believes it's her duty to critique and guide others on appearance. Her relentless criticism alienates friends and family. When she encounters a monster in the forest, she attempts a makeover, hoping to transform it. But as Lucinda soon learns, changing the outside doesn't alter what's within. Will this encounter teach her a lesson about true beauty, or will her obsession with appearances lead to unexpected consequences? Discover the surprising twists in Lucinda's journey of self-discovery and transformation.
From the publisher
The most beautiful girl in the whole of the school is Lucinda Belinda Melinda McCool–but Lucinda Belinda feels it is her duty to guide all her friends in the subject of beauty. Lucinda becomes the scourge of family and friends, criticizing big bottoms and moustaches (especially her grandma’s) until everyone avoids her. So when Lucinda meets a monster in the forest, she makes it her mission to make over this scary creature. Unfortunately changing its outside does not change what’s inside–as Lucinda Belinda discovers!
