Tally Youngblood lives in a futuristic society where everyone is born Ugly and is made Pretty at 16 years old. She meets a friend, Shay, who wants to escape to another area, called The Smoke, where people are free and remain ugly forever. Tally doesn't go with her friend, but when Special Circumstances capture her, she is forced to go to The Smoke to find her friend. Once she gets there, she wants to stay, but when she destroys her necklace, it notifies Special Circumstances and they attack the camp. Tally and her friend David escape and rescue Shay and David's mother, but Tally decides to become pretty in order to try out the brain medicine that David's mother has created to change the lesions that are made in the Pretties brains when they are changed. This is part of a trilogy and Westerfield definitely leaves you wanting more.
