    "description": "<p>Beauty guaranteed - but at what price?</p>\n<p>The first installment of Scott Westerfeld's New York Times bestselling and award-winning Uglies series&mdash;a global phenomenon that started the dystopian trend.<br /> <br /> Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait. In just a few weeks she'll have the operation that will turn her from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty. And as a pretty, she'll be catapulted into a high-tech paradise where her only job is to have fun.<br /> <br /> But Tally's new friend Shay isn't sure she wants to become a pretty. When Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world&mdash;and it isn't very pretty. The authorities offer Tally a choice: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. Tally's choice will change her world forever.</p>",
