The most beautiful girl in the whole of the school is Lucinda Belinda Melinda McCool but Lucinda Belinda felt it was her duty to guide all her friends in the subject of beauty.

Lucinda becomes the scourge of family and friends, criticising big bottoms and moustaches (especially her grandma's) until everyone avoids her.

So when Lucinda meets a monster in the forest, she makes it her mission to make-over this scary creature.
