Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
This book is based in the future. Everyone is an 'ugly' until you turn sixteen when you get a operation that turns you 'pretty'. Fifteen year old Tally can't wait to be pretty. 'Pretty' means high cheekbones, a perfect face, sparkling eyes, and a perfect body. When you become pretty, you move from Uglyville to New Pretty Town- where everything is a party.
Then, Tally meets Shay. Tally and shay have a lot in common, especially their love for doing practical jokes. But Shay doesn't want to become pretty. She would rather remain an ugly, and stay different.
One night, Shay runs away. She leaves a note that only Tally can decode, in case Tally wants to come find her.
The authorities offer Tally two options- die ugly, or betray Shay.
This book was really good! If you like a good adventure or science fiction books, you will love Uglies! I look forward to reading the next book in this series, Pretties.
