About this book collection
In Tally's world, beauty is guaranteed, but at what price? When children reach their 16th birthday, they undergo an operation that changes them from 'Uglies' to 'Pretties', with all their flaws and imperfections ironed out. Tally can't wait, until she meets a rebellious 'Ugly' who tells her about an alternative - run away to a forest community and escape the transformation. So begins Tally's journey, as she starts to question everything about herself and the society she lives in, and wonders whether perfect can mean perfectly wrong. This series is thought-provoking, full of action and utterly gripping.

"Disturbing and gripping"
In this book, set in a disturbing alternative future, everyone is made 'perfect' when they reach their 16th birthday. The first book, Pretties, tells the story of Tally, and her discovery of the dirty secret that lies at the heart of this world. It seems terrifiyingly possible in our world of cosmetic surgery and celebrities. An amazing read that really makes you think about the price people pay to be considered beautiful.
