If you like suspense, UGLIES by Scott Westerfeld, is for you. It is
about this girl named Tally. In the beginning Tally is visiting an old
friend named, Peris, who lives in Prettytown. On Tally’s way back to
Uglyville she runs into this girl named Shay. Shay and Tally become
friends. Shay teaches Tally how to hoverboard. Tally and Shay sneak out
to the Rusty Ruins. Shay tells Tally about this mysterious guy named
David who brings city kids to this place called the smoke. The day of
Tally’s birthday when she is about to get her operation (to make Tally
pretty) she finds out she can’t have it because Shay ran away. Tally is
sent to find the smoke and betray her best friend.
I think UGLIES is a really great book. I recommend his book to girls who
need a good book to read. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.
