Pretties
Scott Westerfeld
Gr. 8-11. In this highly anticipated sequel to the hit Uglies 2005),
Tally Youngblood struggles to retain her mental acuity after undergoing
the operation that transformed her into a Pretty. While in the renegade
Ugly community, Tally learned that along with cosmetic enhancements,
new Pretties are given brain lesions that leave them in a perpetual
state of lazy vanity. Tally volunteered to take a drug developed to cure
the lesions, but now that she is a Pretty, she has forgotten her
promise. A coded message leads her to some pills and a letter that she
wrote to herself before her transformation, and after swallowing the
cure, she is catapulted into a dangerous new adventure, in which she
discovers that the peace and happiness of Pretty society come with a
terrible price. Riveting and compulsively readable, this action-packed
sequel does not disappoint. Just as good as its predecessor, it will
leave fans breathlessly waiting for the trilogy's final volume.
