| Synopsis
|
"Princess Pru's life was practically perfect. She had two loving
dads, an ostrich named Orville, and three royal tarantulas. And then
one day, a ghastly ogre with crusty toenails and goopy ears moves
into the house on the hill. At first, Pru sees the ogre as a
nuisance: he disrupts her royal rock band practices, weekly tickle
tag games, and even the hide-and-seek tournament. The townspeople are
also suspiciouseveryone knows ogres hate seeing people have fun.
But Pru starts to wonder if the ogre is just lonely and asks her
dads, the kings, if she can throw him a "Welcome to the Kingdom"
party, which her over-protective parents refuse. As alarming reports
about the ogre's behavior roll inhe's spotted buying cupcakes,
craft supplies, and balloonsthe people of the kingdom are
terrified. When they receive ominous notes, which readers, like Pru,
will recognize as invitations, the kings imagine the ogre plans to
put them all in a stew. But Pru heads for the house on the hill at
the appointed time, where she's greeted by the ogre for a party. He
simply wanted to make friends. With her courage, Pru clears the way
for the others to join the fun, and they spend the afternoon playing
games and eating ogre-licious cupcakes with Oggy the ogre, who
becomes Pru's fast friend. This heartwarming, humorous story about
genuine friendship shows Pru accepting Oggy as he is, ear goop and
all, and nudges the reader to do the same and not judge based on
appearances."-Provided by publisher.
