Tally can't wait to turn 16. Not because she can get a driver's license, but because she can become a Pretty. Tally is tired of being an Ugly. In Tally's world, an operation transforms all 16 year olds into beautiful, perfect people who get to live in Pretty Town and whose only job is to have fun.
Tally's friend Shay is not sure she wants to be Pretty. And when Shay runs away to "the outside", Tally learns a lot about what's really going on in the pretty world - and it isn't pretty.
Uglies is the first book in a trilogy. Pretties is the second book and Specials is the third. This is a very exciting and action-packed series that kept me up past my bedtime as I read it. It should appeal equally to boys and girls in grades 7-12. And even though it is set in a futuristic society, it is not a heavy science fiction book.
