This book is great.
This book, 'Catherine, Called Birdy,' is about a thirteen-year old girl whose dad wants to ship her off to ugly, smelly, and disgusting suitors for money. Luckily, she manages to hold off all of the suitors except one. The last one, apparently, is the most "revolting," disgusting, and worst-loking suitor of them all. Unfortunately, he is also the richest. This book is high-paced, and very good. Reccomendable for all ages.
