"Duckling Ugly" by Neal Shusterman follows the journey of a young boy named Nick, who feels like an outsider in a world that prioritizes physical beauty. In a society obsessed with appearances, Nick's struggles reveal the pressure to conform and the impacts of superficial judgment. While navigating friendships and social dynamics, he learns that true worth comes from within and that embracing one's uniqueness is the key to finding acceptance. The story is a poignant exploration of self-identity, the nature of beauty, and the importance of looking beyond the surface to discover the deeper value in ourselves and others.
