![]() ![]() I think that the writer is trying to make a point about the way we view beauty nowadays and almost warn us about what will happen if we don’t change. ![]() In this series, Tally experiences friendship, love, betrayal and having to figure out, and choose between, right and wrong.Īlthough this series is set in a fictional, futuristic society, it seems to be a commentary on our own social values. However, there is also a group of people who want to keep their own faces and think that changing people into Pretties on their sixteenth birthday is wrong. Until the age of sixteen, everyone is an Ugly, waiting for the day when they can be transformed into a Pretty, and look however they want to.

The Uglies series includes three books which document the lives of Tally and her peers: Uglies, Pretties and Specials. ![]()
