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.

Few books have been as universally cherished by children and adults
alike as The Little Prince. A beautiful slip-cased gift edition of
this touching and wise classic children's book, with the original
translation by Katherine Woods and full-colour illustrations. A
pilot stranded in the desert awakes one morning to see the most
extraordinary little fellow standing before him. “Please…’
asks the stranger, “draw me a sheep…’ And the pilot realises
that when life’s events are too difficult to understand, there is
no choice but to succumb to their mysteries. He pulls out a pencil
and paper … and thus begins this wise and enchanting fable that,
in teaching the secret of what is really important in life, has
changed the world forever for its readers. This stunning new
edition of the classic children's book The Little Prince, includes
the classic English translation by Katherine Woods and original
colour illustrations which will capture the hearts of readers of
all ages. Featuring bonus non-fiction content, exploring the
history of The Little Prince, the real-life plane crash that
inspired the story, the life of the author and more! Antoine de
Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944) was born in Lyons, France. He wrote The
Little Prince in the United States during a two-year self-imposed
exile from occupied France. A year after the book’s publication
in 1943, Saint-Exupéry disappeared over the Mediterranean while
flying a reconnaissance mission for his French air squadron. Best
known throughout the world as the author and illustrator of The
Little Prince, Saint-Exupéry wrote several other books that have
also become classics of world literature. Katherine Woods
(1886-1968) produced the original English translation of The Little
Prince in 1943. It was later followed by several other English
translations, but her classic translation is treasured by fans and
is often considered to be the definitive English translation. Her
poetic translation perfectly captures the enchantment and charm of
Saint-Exupéry’s storytelling.
