A conversation I'd love to have with a character in my book would definitely be with Tally. She's the main character in Uglies (as I spoke about her in last week's post) and she is so fixated on sticking to her current society in Uglyville / New Pretty Town that she can't see how it's really effecting the people around her and herself! They're controlled completely by the Specials, and don't have any power to make their own decisions; don't even have the freedom to remain the way they were born to look by the time they turn 16 years old. She is searching for her friend Shay who lives in The Smoke which is a place far away from the society Tally and everyone else (as far as she knows) lives. She wants to give Shay away even though Shay is her friend because the Specials will not give her the Pretty Operation until she does so and brings her back to Uglyville.
I read this series in 6th grade, it was really good!
