This book is about a boy called Robert Hoge. He was born with a huge tumor on his face. At first when his mother was told about his face, even his own mum didn't want to take him home. Eventually his older siblings persuaded his mum to bring Robert home. When Robert was young he had a lot of operations. When he was 3 he had a big operation to fix his face. It was the biggest operation in Australia. In the operation the surgeons amputated his legs. Robert settled in well at school, but got 1 or 2 looks. He wanted to play rugby league. But he had an opportunity to play lawn bowls instead. With a lot of practice he was able to win some competitions.
I recommend this book to people who like biography books. I rate this book a 10/10
I loved this book and enjoyed reading about Robert's story.
