Uglies

Uglies
by Scott Westerfield

In this world, once you turn sixteen you get to have an operation to make you look absolutely flawless. Right now, Tally is fifteen and is ready to be pretty: she will reach that point in a few weeks. Shay, Tally's new friend, wants to take risks and be adventurous. In other words, Shay isn't sure she wants to be pretty at all. So Shay decides to run away. But Tally now has to do a not-so-simple task in order to become pretty: to locate Shay, bring her to the authorities, or never become the stunningly beautiful person she wants to be. Do you think she makes the right decision?

This book is just great all around. It's truly hard to put this book down without knowing what's going to happen next. It is very exciting and not very hard to picture what's happening. This book would definitely be at the top of my list!

In the beginning of this book there is a girl that is ugly. She wants so bad to be a Pretty, something that she will become after a minor operation on her 16th birthday. Her best friend was a few months older than her and had already turned into a Pretty. The girl who is ugly decides to sneak into Pretty Town to see her friend. She gets in so much trouble while she is there. She meets someone new, and they become best friends. They do everything together. The weird thing is that they have the same birthday, so they will turn pretty on the same day. Read this book to see what happens on their journey to become Pretties!
