Eloise Midgen is Hogwart's ugliest girl. Chubby and pimply with an off-centered nose, Eloise is unhappy and lonely. She is constantly teased by her peers and wishes desperately for a transformation. But the ugly duckling story has never come true for her. Now after six painful years at Hogwarts, it's summertime and Eloise has just finished her sixth year. She's off to Scotland to visit her grandmother and she's about to meet someone who will make her transformation come true.
