Uglies by Scott Westerfeld

Living in a future where sixteen-year-olds are surgically transformed from "uglies" to "pretties," Tally Youngblood struggles with a choice: to become beautiful and content forever, or to leave the world she knows and keep her own face. Tally's decisions bring her to both locations as well as others she'd never dreamed of, but they also get her in and out of trouble, and force her to grow and change and learn. Westerfeld's books have won many nominations and awards as well as a huge fan following of teens everywhere. Uglies was named a 2006 Best Book for Young Adults by the Young Adult Library Services Association, a division of the American Library Association.

  6. Because Shay ran away to Smoke, and Special Circumstances wanted Tally to go to Smoke so they know where it is. Then they will let Tally have the surgery.
    She loved them, but couldn't stay with them.
    They use their nicknames as put-downs.
    I was wondering about that to! Maybe they use a Sonic Screwdriver. :P

    1. Tally ACCIDENTALLY activated her locket when she threw it to the fire pit after deciding that she would live in the Smoke.
      They both like each other. But David also likes Shay, then it twists and turns as your at the end of the story.
      Yes, Tally will see Peris again, I believe, she decided to turn pretty to test the cure for the brain "thing" .
      But you have to read the second book "Pretties"

    How did Tally react to David's parents?
    How does Tally like the Smoke?

  9. Because David likes Tally, not Shay
    She was "numb" with information
    She liked it and dreaded opening the heart locket
    I don't know but I think that Shay will be mad and hold a grudge

  10. Tally never activates it on purpose she distroys it but it sends a distress call unknowingly.
    Yes he very much like-likes Tally. :)
    Yes Tally does but only at the very end and you have to inference it for me to answer that.
    P.S. I started reading the second one. She does see Peris.
