NOW A" NEW YORK TIMES" BESTSELLER "The job of the skin is to keep it all in... "On the island of Here, livin´s easy. Conduct is orderly. Lawns are neat. Citizens are clean shaven--and Dave is the most fastidious of them all. Dave is bald, but for a single hair. He loves drawing, his desk job, and the Bangles. But on one fateful day, his life is upended...by an unstoppable (yet pretty impressive) beard. An off-beat fable worthy of Roald Dahl and Tim Burton, "The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil" is a darkly funny meditation on life, death, and what it means to be different--and a timeless ode to the art of beard maintenance.
