Title: Uglies
Author: Scott Westerfeld
Reviewer: Katie
Summary:
Tally Youngblood will be turning 16 soon, which means she will become a pretty! But before her birthday she finds a new friend, Shay, there birthdays are on the same day so they can turning into pretties together. But Shay doesn’t want to be a pretty, so she runs away to a place called the “Smoke”, a place where uglies live, out in the wild. Its there birthday but Tally can’t be turned into a pretty yet because she has to go find Shay or she will never be a pretty. She follows Shay’s clues to the smoke and gets there safe. Dr. Cable gives Tally a locket which has a tracking device in it, that needs to be set off so the “specials” can find them. Tally meets David, a guy who has never lived/ been in a city before, Tally starts liking him so she wants to stay at the smoke, and she throws the locket in the fire which sets it off. The “Specials” come and capture everyone but David and Tally. Shay, Az and Maddy, and all the others get locked up. David and Tally try to rescue them without getting caught. They find them and figure out that David’s dad Az was killed. Maddy found a way to cure the “bubbleheads”, pretties. So tally had a plan, she would go and turn into a pretty and then give her the cure to see if it works before they give it to everybody else. So Tally and Shay go to the pretty town to try and get Tally caught. A hover car came flying over them and noticed that Tally was an ugly and then Tally said “I’m Tally Youngblood, make me pretty.”
The End!!
