Lisa is 11 years old, loves guinea pigs, and is shy-and not just a little bit shy. She's so shy that her heart practically pounds out of her chest whenever her teacher calls on her in class. Lisa will do anything she can to avoid being noticed. When a pair of glasses with incredible abilities falls into her life, her whole world is turned upside down. For the first time in her life she's motivated to get out of her shell. The only problem: the glasses are ugly-SUPER ugly, and the other kids at school are starting to call her names. But if she's able to gain confidence in herself and ignore the name-callers, those ugly glasses might just change her life.
Lisa's Ugly Glasses received a Five Star Review from Readers' Favorite:
Review By Tiffany Ferrell for Readers' Favorite: Lisa is an eleven-year-old fifth grader who has been extremely shy for as long as she can remember. Even getting called on in class causes her to panic. Her friend Jackie is shy as well, and it was only thanks to their parents that the two became friends. One day Lisa finds an ugly pair of glasses in her cubby. They are large and only have one lens, but Lisa is automatically curious about them. After trying them on a few times, she discovers something amazing. The glasses show what people want. Using the ugly frames to guide her, Lisa takes one bold step after another, and soon she begins to make friends and come out of her shell. Shocked that the glasses made things so easy, she also soon finds out that with each person there is more than meets the eye. This also applies to the boy in her class that constantly bullies her. With one pair of broken, ugly glasses, Lisa's life is changed drastically. I thought Lisa's Ugly Glasses by Erica Richardson was a fun and uplifting read. I really liked the main character, Lisa. She's a very interesting girl that many kids would be able to relate to. So many kids have issues with social interaction and making friends. ... The plot is realistic but is easy for a younger audience to follow along. It teaches children a good lesson which is to take a chance on getting to know new people, and that it could be a great experience. I think Erica Richardson has done a wonderful job with Lisa's Ugly Glasses and I can't wait to read more of her work.
