The early summer sky was the color of cat vomit.
Tally Youngblood will turn pretty in three months. All of her friends are already pretty, living it up in New Pretty Town. She misses her friends, especially her best friend, Peris.
Tally's world is based on a series of stages: Littlies, Uglies, New Pretties, Middle Pretties, and Crumblies. Tally is sure she knows what she wants when she meets another Ugly, Shay. Shay and Tally share the same birthdate - they'll turn pretty together. But Shay begins to share her ideas with Tally, and they're new and different to Tally. Tally only begins to think about things differently after Shay escapes Uglyville, leaving Tally with a enormous decision.
If you like books like Fahrenheit 451, Hunger Games, The House of the Scorpion, you'll probably find Uglies an exciting read.
