UGLY SHY GIRL

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £1.69
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Roald Dahl and Quention Blake meets Tim Burton in sassy poet Laura Dockrill's edgy and hilarious tale



You might have known somebody like Ugly Shy Girl once ...

You might have seen her bumping into lamp-posts and tripping over her bag.

She wears a denim skirt down to her ankles and a second-hand Naf Naf jacket.

Her hair hangs down in front of her face and her nails are bitten and sore.

She is always doing or saying completely the wrong thing.

This itwisted tale is about the struggle of growing up in a place where you don't belong, surrounded by people you hate ...and how delicious getting your own back can be.
