Be Smart-President Hinkley

Books are such an important part of our education. No mater if we are three or seventy-three, we are all constantly learning.
Reading is an essential part of learning about the world around us. By picking up a book, we are bringing information, new thoughts and different ways to look at things, into our mind. Instead of turning on the TV, read something. Enlighten your mind, become more educated, like President Hinkley urges us to do.

Uglies

Uglies
Scott Westerfeld
Scholastic 2005

Summary
Ever since Peris turned, Tally has been counting the days when she turns sixteen. See in the city where Tally lives once you turn sixteen you have an operation that makes you pretty. And Tally is tired of being an Ugly. She wants to go with Peris and all their friends in Pretty Town. But then Tally meets Shay. Shay has different ideas about becoming a Pretty. So when one night Shay disappears the government comes in and tells Tally that unless she wants to be turned pretty she's gonna have to track down her friend and bring her back. Tally has to decide between her friend or staying ugly forever--until there's an even bigger decision to make.

Personal Review
This is one of my new favorite books! Holy cow, it was soooooooo good! Before I started to read it I thought that I wouldn't like it, but I was wrong! Once I started reading I couldn't stop. Not only is the story line good, but the message is outstanding! I loved how Westerfeld got the message of being beautiful isn't everything you think it is, out there by using an amazing story that would entertain anyone.

Cautionary Notes
There are a couple swear words, and there is some violence and threats.
