Uglies

       Tally Youngblood has always wanted to be pretty.  In her world, when you’re 16, you get “The operation” which turns you from a revolting “ugly” into a stunningly gorgeous “pretty”. But a few nights before her operation, her friend Shay decides she doesn’t want to be pretty and runs away. Right before her operation, the government tells Tally that she must find Shay or never turn pretty. They claim it’s for Shay’s own aid. Tally sets forth on a dangerous mission to find Shay, changing her world forever.
