The first book in Scott Westerfeld's international bestselling series,
Uglies!
Tally lives in a world where your sixteenth birthday brings aesthetic
perfection: an operation which erases all your flaws, transforming you
from an 'Ugly' into a 'Pretty'. She is on the eve of this important
event, and cannot wait for her life to change. As well as guaranteeing
supermodel looks, life as a Pretty seems to revolve around having a
good time. But then she meets Shay, who is also fifteen - but with a
very different outlook on life. Shay isn't sure she wants to be Pretty
and plans to escape to a community in the forest - the Rusty Ruins -
where Uglies go to escape ' turning'. Tally won't be persuaded to join
her, as this would involve sacrificing everything she's ever wanted for
a lot of uncertainty.
When she is taken in for questioning on her birthday, however, Tally
gets sent to the Ruins anyway - against her will. The authorities offer
Tally the worst choice she could ever imagine: find her friend Shay and
turn her in, or never turn Pretty at all. What she discovers in the
Ruins reveals that there is nothing 'pretty' about the
transformations... And the choice Tally makes will change her world
forever.

In Tally’s world, looks are all that matters. And now that she’s

wrong. Something important. Then a message from her ‘Ugly’ past
arrives, forcing Tally to remember the truth she learned before her
transformation, and the fun stops cold. Because the true price of this
perfect world is more than Tally is willing to pay…
