Tally is about to turn sixteen which is when all everyone turns pretty. In this futuristic series, the government has decided that wars, strife, petty misunderstandings, jealousy etc. can all be avoided if everyone is pretty. In the first book, Tally meets Shay who isn't sure she wants to be pretty and runs away, leaving Tally with instructions on how to find her in the unpopulated wilderness. In Pretties, Tally becomes pretty but knows something is missing and can't remember what. The last book takes Tally beyond pretty into becoming a Special, part of a police force who are not only pretty but possess unique physical characteristics, almost super natural. I found these books to be great reads, lots of adventure, a moral of accepting yourself for who you are that is not slammed over your head, and some great characters. Definitely a young adult book that I would recommend to anyone.

There is technically a fourth book called Extras that you may want to look into. I liked Uglies and Specials, but Pretties drove me insane!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this trilogy as well.
