It鈥檚 a world where no matter what blemishes nature has given you, at the age of sixteen you get an ultimate cosmetic surgery package that transforms you into something beautiful.
You鈥檇 think it was the ideal life . . .
But there was a cost . . . .
Uglies (The Uglies Series #1)
Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can鈥檛 wait. Not for her license 鈥?for turning pretty. In Tally鈥檚 world, your sixteenth birthday brings an operation that turns you from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to have a really great time. In just a few weeks Tally will be there.
But Tally鈥檚 new friend Shay isn鈥檛 sure she wants to be pretty. She鈥檇 rather risk life on the outside. When Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world 鈥?and it isn鈥檛 very pretty. The authorities offer Tally the worst choice she can imagine: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. The choice Tally makes changes her world forever.
Pretties (The Uglies Series #2)
Gorgeous. Popular. Perfect. Perfectly wrong.
Tally has finally become pretty. Now her looks are beyond perfect, her clothes are awesome, her boyfriend is totally hot, and she鈥檚 completely popular. It鈥檚 everything she鈥檚 ever wanted.
But beneath all the fun 鈥?the nonstop parties, the high-tech luxury, the total freedom 鈥?is a nagging sense that something鈥檚 wrong. Something important. Then a message from Tally鈥檚 ugly past arrives. Reading it, Tally remembers what鈥檚 wrong with pretty life, and the fun stops cold. Now she has to choose between fighting to forget what she knows and fighting for her life 鈥?because the authorities don鈥檛 intend to let anyone with this information survive.
Specials (The Uglies Series #3)
鈥淪pecial Circumstances鈥? The words have sent chills down Tally鈥檚 spine since her days as a repellent, rebellious ugly. Back then Specials were a sinister rumor 鈥?frighteningly beautiful, dangerously strong, breathtakingly fast. Ordinary pretties might live their whole lives without meeting a Special. But Tally鈥檚 never been ordinary. And now she鈥檚 been turned into one of them: a super-amped fighting machine, engineered to keep the uglies down and the pretties stupid. The strength, the speed, and the clarity and focus of her thinking feel better than anything Tally can remember. Most of the time. One tiny corner of her heart still remembers something more. Still, it鈥檚 easy to tune that out 鈥?until Tally鈥檚 offered a chance to stamp out the rebels of the New Smoke permanently. It all comes down to one last choice: listen to that tiny, faint heartbeat, or carry out the mission she鈥檚 programmed to complete. Either way, Tally鈥檚 world will never be the same.
Extras (The Uglies Series #4)
It鈥檚 a few years after rebel Tally Youngblood took down the uglies/pretties/specials regime. Without those strict roles and rules, the world is in a complete cultural renaissance. 鈥淭ech-heads鈥?flaunt their latest gadgets, 鈥渒ickers鈥?spread gossip and trends, and 鈥渟urge monkeys鈥?are hooked on extreme plastic surgery. And it鈥檚 all monitored on a bazillion different cameras. The world is like a gigantic game of American Idol. Whoever is getting the most buzz gets the most votes. Popularity rules. As if being fifteen doesn鈥檛 suck enough, Aya Fuse鈥檚 rank of 451,369 is so low, she鈥檚 a total nobody. An extra. But Aya doesn鈥檛 care; she just wants to lie low with her drone, Moggle. And maybe kick a good story for herself. Then Aya meets a clique of girls who pull crazy tricks, yet are deeply secretive of it. Aya wants desperately to kick their story, to show everyone how intensely cool the Sly Girls are. But doing so would propel her out of extra-land and into the world of fame, celebrity . . . and extreme danger.
A world she鈥檚 not prepared for.
