Shrek

Joe Stillman

What if a solitude-loving ogre had his world turned upside down by a host of magical creatures, an exasperatingly cheerful donkey, and a princess with a shocking secret? Shrek is a hilarious and heartwarming adventure about breaking stereotypes, battling dragons, and discovering that true love doesn't always come in a glittery package. With action, humor, and a twist on every fairy tale cliché, this story will have you laughing, cheering, and believing that even the most unlikely hero can find their "happily ever after."
