The first book of the Uglies series was published in 2005, three years before The Hunger Games. But a graphic novel version has been released, and the new story packs just as much punch. In the original Uglies, Tally eagerly waits her sixteenth birthday, when, through the miracle of her society’s high-tech plastic surgery, she will become beautiful. As a Pretty, her only goal in life will be the pursuit of a good time. But then Tally’s best friend Shay unexpectedly refuses her makeover, running off instead to the Smoke, an outside colony of Uglies. If Tally doesn’t spy on the Smoke, she won’t be allowed to become Pretty. The graphic novel version tells Shay’s side of the story—her attraction to the prankish Uglies gang calling itself “The Crims,” her growing dissatisfaction with the status quo, her friends’ desertion to Pretty Town, and her persuasive (except to Tally) arguments against becoming Pretty. Shay is a born rebel—much like a certain tribute from District 12—and the story from her point of view becomes something darker, more active, with the consequences of the characters’ actions even more significant. The manga-like artwork provides a light touch to a story that becomes more engrossing with each new image.

Uglies by Scott Wethersfeld is a really good book. It takes place in a futuristic dystopian society. Everybody turns "Pretty" when they become 16, and they get a huge surgery makeover. Everybody under 16 is "Ugly" Tally, the main character, is 15 and turns Pretty in a month and is SUPER excited. She then meets a girl named Shay, who has the same birthday as Tally, and Shay runs away. Authorities face Tally with a decision: Find Shay and turn her in, or never become pretty. The choice she makes will change her world forever.
