Experience the riveting, dystopian Uglies series seen as never
before--through the eyes of Shay, Tally Youngblood's closest and
bravest friend, who refuses to take anything about society at face
value.
"From the moment we are born, we are considered threats in need of
'special' management. We are watched and shaped and exploited by a
force most of us never see. . . . All to keep us "safe." . . . Do
you feel safe? Or do you feel like you're in a cage?"--Shay
In "Pretties, " Tally Youngblood and her daring best friend, Shay,
both underwent the operation that turned them from ordinary Uglies
into stunning beauties. Now this thrilling new graphic novel
reveals Shay's perspective on living in New Pretty Town . . . and
the way she sees it, there's more to this so-called paradise than
meets the eye.
With the endless parties and custom-made clothes, life as a Pretty
should be perfect. Yet Shay doesn't feel quite right. She has
little to no memory of her past; it's as if something in her brain
has inexplicably changed. When she reunites with Tally and the
Crims--her rebellious group of friends from Uglyville--she begins
to recall their last departure to the wild, and the headstrong
leader she used to be. And as she remembers the truth about what
doomed their escape, Shay decides to fight back--against the status
quo, against the mysterious Special Circumstances, even against her
own best friend.
