Uglies - Book Review by Kristen M.

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld

Uglies is a funny book about a future world where everyone is "ugly" until they turn 16, when they have an operation to become "pretty".

Tally is a 15 year old Ugly, impatient for her operation. When she becomes friends with a girl named Shay, she is confused about why Shay doesn't want to be Pretty. Shay runs away to an only Ugly town and Tally is in trouble. In order to become Pretty, she becomes a spy and follows Shay. Eventually she changes her mind and decides to stay in the Ugly town, just as her "boss" comes to kidnap them all.

I loved this book because it's funny, adventerous, and romantic. it has a great lesson and is wonderfully written. I can't wait to read the second book, Pretties.
