the Uglies Series

To me the Uglies Series is an amazing series.This story is about a girl named Talley Youngblood and her adventures to stop people from becoming bubble heads. She is trying to figure out how people and why people do are turned into bubble head.A bubble head is someone who has become sort of a robot-they all have the same personality and act in a strange manner.

The story evolves around Talley and her friends Shay, Fausto, and the rest of the cutters or crims. The town of Prettyville, where the story is set, has different cliques. There are the crims, short for criminals, that are the dangerous and outcast in the cast. The cutters are younger characters who are stronger than the other characters. Their brains are programmed to make them believe they are better than everyone else.

There are many different types of characters and names for groups of people in this science fiction series. Read it to get in on the action and keep track of all the excitement.
