Scott Westerfeld creates an amazing adventure in the book Uglies, the first book in a series of four.
Tally Youngblood, and fifteen-year-old "ugly", sneaks away to find her friend that had already been turned pretty only weeks before. But she finds out that he doesn't want to see her again until she has become pretty. When she's running away from the other pretties that are chasing her, she meets another ugly named Shay.
They find out that they have the same birthday, they become good friends, and Shay teaches Tally how to hoverboard.
But the night before they're both about to have to operation, Shay comes to Tally's window. Tally thinks that Shay wants to do one last ugly trick before they become pretty, but that's no the plan. Shay wants to run away to the Smoke, where there are uglies who have never had the operation. Tally doesn't like the idea, so she doesn't go. But Shay leaves directions, just in case Tally wanted to join her.
The next day, Tally gets ready to go to New Pretty Town to get her operation. but when she gets there, a doctor comes out and says that there's something wrong with her operation. Dr. Cable, head of Special Circumstances, tells her that she Tally needs to find Shay and all the other people that have escaped to the Smoke. But they'll only give her the operation if she helps them. Dr. Cable gives her a pendant that she can open and scan her eye with when she gets there, and Special Circunstances would be there in a few hours.
So she hops onto her hoverboard and follows Shay's legible but confusing directions, conquers challenging tasks, and fnally makes it to the Smoke.
When she gets there, she finds Shay and all the people who had been runing away for all these years. But she doesn't want to betray Shay but bringing in Special Circumstances.
Later, Tally falls in love with the son of the founders of the Smoke, David, and doesn't want to leave the Smoke. But when Special Circumstances arrives, the Smoke is in big trouble. They're all taking them back to their original hometowns to be made pretty!
I really liked this book. It's full of action, adventure, suspence, and some romance. But the best part is that it shows the true meaning of friendship. Tally really cared about Shay, and didn't want to turn her back on her and ruin their friendship. I really think they should turn this into a movie. It would be awesome! Anyways, I really liked this book, and I hope you'll all read it over the summer...including the rest of the series. A
