What would you do if you had to wear your brother's underwear to school? Well Jennifer Murdley had to. Jennifer 's whole life was an embarassment. All Jennifer wanted was to be beautiful, but she had pudgy cheeks, small eyes, and a clump of a nose. She felt like the kid in the plain brown wrapper. Kids in Jennifer's grade teased her for that. 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 a witch. The witch wanted Bufo for his Jewel of Perfect Happiness in his forehead. There was a magical street called Beech Street (where Bufo came from) and a plain street called High Street.These streets were in Smokey Hollow were Jennifer lived. 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?
