What would you do if you had to wear your brother’s underwear to school? Jennifer had to. All Jennifer wanted was to be beautiful, but she had pudgy cheeks, small eyes, and a clump of nose. She felt like the kid in the plain brown wrapper. Jennifer bought a toad for her school project. The toad’s name was Bufo. Bufo was an immortal vermin. He was warty and was a tongue toad. His mother was the witch. The witch wanted Bufo for his Jewel of Perfect Happiness. The most important thing to Bufo was Esmeralda. This story takes place in a small town called Smokey Hollow. There was a magical street called Beech Street and a plain street called High Street. Jennifer had a choice to look beautiful or trade Bufo and the witch gets the jewel. Do you think Jennifer’s temptation of being beautiful gets to her?
