Uglies

Tally Youngblood wants nothing more than to become pretty, or so she thinks!After losing her best friend to New Pretty Town, Tally is even more impatient to get the operation! When the new daredevil in town meets Tally, the most daring pranks are pulled! But these pranks are nothing compared to the one Shay (the daredevil) has in mind! Shay is exactly the opposite of Tally in the way they think of being pretty! So Shay has come up with a new plan to run away before their 16th birthday to a place called the Smoke! But the Smoke doesn't appeal to Tally as much as it does for Shay, So Tally stays behind! Tally is anxiously waiting in the operation room when people called Specials tell her to either find Shay for them or stay Ugly for life!In the Smoke Tally meets a boy named David who trys to warn her about what happens when you turn pretty! But Nobody will listen other than their fellow smokies!


Will Tally betray her best friend and dozens of other uglies depending on the Smoke to be their home, or will she become a smoky herself?


This book is science fiction in a life where everyone gets an operation when they are 16 to become pretty! Anyone normal is Ugly!

  1. Great review! And yes -- you certainly can blog Strange Truths. In fact you can say that you were a "beta reader" for an unpublished manuscript.

Any Bookworms Out There?

I don't know about you, but I love to read! I'm an 11 year-old bookworm! As a matter of fact being a bookworm sometimes gets me in trouble. Like when I am reading instead of getting ready for school, going to bed, or listening to what my mom is saying to me.



If this sounds like you, join me and other Bookworms on this blog. We can share comments, recommend books to each other, and just have fun!
