Like the Ugly Duckling, Sally believes she's plain and unwanted-but her journey proves she was always something beautiful.
Sally doesn't feel pretty or wanted. She doesn't even feel like she belongs. So, one day she decides to leave her school behind and find her way home, no matter how far the journey.
Along the road, she meets an unlikely band of friends: Magnus the dignified goat, Philippe the scruffy cat with a sharp tongue, and Lydia the linnet with a voice like a lullaby. Together they face empty pockets, cold nights, and more than one scrape... but also plenty of laughter, kindness, and the kind of friendship you can only discover on an adventure.
Yet the hardest lesson Sally learns is not about finding her way home, but about finding herself. Because sometimes the world will call you ugly, but what matters most is how you choose to see yourself.
A modern-day fairy tale full of warmth, wit, and wonder, Hugs is perfect for readers who love magical journeys, talking animals, and stories that wrap you up like a blanket.
Brimming with humour, kindness, and courage, this enchanting story is one to treasure-curl up and start reading today.
