Uglies, Pretties & Specials : a great new trilogy by Scott Westerfield. How would you like to spend your teen years as an “ugly” knowing that when you turn 16 you would be forced to have an operation and become a “pretty’? This is good reading, with all kinds of questions about a society that values beauty and parties over being normal (“ugly”) and thoughtful. It’s also about rebellion, since there’s a group of teens who don’t want to become “pretty”. And then there’s the “specials”, who are “pretties” who have been given super powers in order to track down the rebels. Enjoy and let us know what you think! p.s. Keep those teen book reviews coming.
