When a well-meaning fairy decides that rejection simply won't do, young healer Evie is transformed into an ogre—and she has only sixty-two days to accept a marriage proposal or stay that way forever. Evie is far too devoted to her healing practice and her loyal friend Wormy to worry about romance, but now she's got to figure out how to charm a suitor while looking absolutely monstrous and being, well, absolutely ravenous. This delightful prequel brings back the magic and heart of Ella Enchanted with a clever, determined heroine who refuses to let a little ogre curse stop her from living life on her own terms—even if love might have other plans!
