Perfect hair. Perfect skin. Perfect eyes. In our world, we think of supermodels. In Tally's world, they think of every person over sixteen. That's right -- every girl and guy becomes impossibly gorgeous. Who wouldn't want that? As it turns out, the answer is: a lot of people.
As soon as tally meets her new friend Shay, things start to get interesting. Shay introduces her to a whole new side of her world that she never knew.
In this amazing page turner of a book, Scott Westerfield introduces us to the strange, dystopian world of "Uglies." There are three other books in the series: "Pretties," "Specials," and "Extras." Although I didn't enjoy the other books in the series very much, it's kind of hard to not read them -- at the end of every book is a cliffhanger! While I cannot guarantee it will be your best read, it definitely is a book that is impossible to put down.
