What if you had to wear your brother's underwear to school? Then, when you got to school kids at school called you "Underwear Woman". How would you feel? Well that's how a fifth grade girl got treated. On bad days she feels like a kid in a plain brown wrapper. She has a clump of a nose and small eyes. She gets teased a lot. She wants to become beautiful. Then a magical toad comes along that could change the way she thinks about herself. She finds him while she was getting chased on Beach St. Bufo is a magical toad. He is very ugly. He came out of a girl’s mouth, and he is a “mortal vermin”. A mortal vermin is a talking animal that lives forever. One conflict of the story is when people turned into toads by the “kiss”. The “kiss” is when Bufo kisses someone they turn to a toad. But, if they kiss someone else the other person turns to a toad and they turn back to human. The conflict occurred because a gang chased her because she was wearing her brother’s underwear. But, my favorite part of the story was when Jennifer visits the beautiful lady for the second time. It’s a great book.
