About the Book Uglies
Embark on a Journey of Self-Discovery in Uglies by Scott Westerfeld.
In a future where society idolizes aesthetic perfection, Uglies introduces us to Tally Youngblood, a teenager on the brink of a life-changing cosmetic surgery. The procedure, mandatory at sixteen, transforms ‘Uglies’ into ‘Pretties’—flawless beings living in a world of endless parties and carefree luxury.
Tally eagerly awaits her transformation, counting down the days to reunite with her best friend, Peris, who has already crossed over to the radiant side. However, an encounter with the rebellious Shay, who questions the very foundation of their world, thrusts Tally into a whirlwind of doubt and intrigue.
Shay introduces Tally to the concept of natural beauty and the existence of a community where people reject societal norms, living unaltered and free. As Tally grapples with her beliefs, she faces an ultimatum from the authorities: assist in the capture of runaways or forfeit her chance at becoming ‘Pretty.’
Uglies is a thought-provoking exploration of conformity, beauty standards, and the lengths to which one would go to fit in. Tally’s journey challenges readers to reflect on the true meaning of beauty and the cost of societal acceptance.

Meanwhile, this page is active so you can order books; it just isn't quite as informative or graphically appealing as the new page will be. Thanks for understanding! :-)
