About Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
In Tally’s world, turning sixteen means having an operation to become “pretty” and enter a high-tech life devoted to having a good time. Tally is looking forward to that change—until her new friend Shay questions whether she wants it at all.
When Shay runs away, Tally faces an ultimatum from the authorities: find her friend and turn her in, or give up the transformation she has been waiting for. This young adult novel centers on beauty, social expectations, loyalty, and a choice with lasting consequences. It may appeal to readers of speculative fiction interested in how a society’s rules shape personal decisions.
