Book review: Uglies

I recently began the Uglies trilogy By Scott Westerfield. Uglies takes place in the future where at the age of of 16 you get an operation to make you beautiful and you get to move to a place called new Prettie Town where you party all night and sleep all day. Before you get the operation you live Uglieville and are called an Uglie.

Uglies is about an almost 16 year old girl named Tally Youngblood whose friends are all pretty and she can't wait to become pretty until she meets a girl named Shay who's thinking about running away to a place called the Smoke before she has to get the operation. The Smoke is where all the Uglies who don't want the operation run away to.

Shay asks Tally to go to the Smoke with her but Tally decides to stay and get the operation. So Shay runs away leaving instructions for Tally if she decides to run away. Tally goes to get the operation, but before she can Special Circumstances (the secret police) take her to their headquarters and tell her that unless she takes a tracker with her, goes to the smoke and tells Special Circumstances where the Smoke is, she can't get the operation.

I would recommend this book. There are 3 more books, 2 of which I have read. The 3rd as far as I can tell is not about Tally.

Book Review: Inkspell by Cornelia Funke

Inkspell is the second book in the Inkheart trilogy, the first book was Inkheart. Inkspell is about the same characters just one year later. I really like the story. It would be hard to tell the story to you because you didn't read the first one. The 3rd book hasn't come out in English yet. I would recommend this trilogy. Something I think is interesting about these books is they are written in German and translated into English.

We Tie-Dyed shirts yesterday and washed the extra dye out this afternoon. Here are some pictures. Mom didn't get pictures of her shirts but I will post pictures of her wearing them later.
