Ms. Nash, Tuscarora's literacy specialist, suggests that you read the Uglies trilogy. Scott Westerfeld’s trilogy “+ 1” of Uglies, Pretties, Specials, and Extras follows the adventures of Tally Youngblood in a futuristic society where everyone at the age of sixteen, is surgically perfected into beautiful people that party constantly and are given everything they want. But at what cost?
As an ugly, then a pretty, and finally a special, (in Extras she is a legend) Tally and her crew work to take down a dystopia society that has been created to function with perfect-looking people who never have a chance to think for themselves. Throughout these novels this group of dedicated teenagers changes everything through sabotage and quick thinking. If you are a fan of dystopia and high tech adventure you will want to get a hold of all this series for your summer reading.
