Soon to be a major motion picture streaming on Netflix!
A young girl begins to question her picture-perfect world in this
first installment of Scott Westerfeld's New York Times bestselling and
award-winning Uglies series--a global phenomenon that started the
dystopian trend.
Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait. In just a few weeks
she'll have the operation that will turn her from a repellent ugly into
a stunningly attractive pretty. And as a pretty, she'll be catapulted
into a high-tech paradise where her only job is to have fun.
But Tally's new friend Shay isn't sure she wants to become a pretty.
When Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side of her
world--and it isn't very pretty. The authorities offer Tally a choice:
find her friend and turn her in, or always be an ugly. Tally's decision
leads her on a journey of self-discovery and first love--but it's the
seeds of rebellion that will change her life and her world forever.
