Set in the not-so-distant future, the Uglies series is set in a world where beauty isn’t just at a premium – it’s mandatory. Every teen must undergo surgery at age sixteen to become supermodel beautiful. But after becoming pretty, it isn’t just teens’ faces that change – regular life is left behind for a life of fun and partying. Sounds great, no?

Maybe until Tally Youngblood’s friends decide they want to keep their own faces, and the radical group learns everything that’s at stake…

Tally is thrust into a world of manipulation, deception, and yet, amazing heroics and adventure in this fascinating and complex series.
