"Princess Pru's life is practically perfect: she has two loving dads, an ostrich named Orville, and THREE royal tarantulas. But it's not perfectly perfect, thanks to the hulking, hairy ogre who just moved into the house on the hill. It isn't long before reports of the ogre's alarming behavior begin trickling into the castle. He's spotted buying balloons and cupcakes; he's caught cleaning and decorating his home. Then he sends out notes with the ominous message that everyone in the kingdom is in for a BIG surprise. Pru's petrified parents are convinced the ogre is up to no good, but the perceptive princess is pretty sure she knows what's really going on... Featuring a dauntless and savvy heroine, this fearsomely funny story upends traditional fairy tale conventions and suggests that looking past appearances--even green ear goop--can result in unexpected friendship and belonging"--Inside jacket flap.
