Uglies

In the future all children are uglies until they turn 16. On their 16th birthday they are forced to become pretties and get surgery. Tally Youngblood (the main character) is very thrilled to get the surgery and can't wait to be a pretty. In Tally's world, everyone has a label. There are littles, ugllies, pretties, and specials.  Tally doesen't really question why she needs to get the surgery until her friend shay meets her. Shay is a rebelious teenager that wants to keep her face the way it is  and not get the surgery. When tally meets shay, she questions a lot of things about the society there are living in, and a long they way she learns a shocking story and the dangers about becoming a pretty. Shay tells Tally that her and her friends are planning on escaping the town so they don't have to go through with the surgery. Tally agrees to go with them, hoping they'll get away and won't have to go through the surgery. Unfortunately, dr cable finds out about their plan and hopes she will be able to stop them in time.A day before they make their trip, tally is called in by Dr. Cable for questioning. To Tally's surprise Dr cable finds out about their plan to escape and go to the smoke. Dr. Cable is giving Tally a one in a lifetime opportunity; Tally can become a pretty and turn in her friends or not become a pretty at all. 

What do you think Tally will chose?
