26th June 2006
Posted by: Rich Badley

The teen fantasy book Uglies by Scott Westerfeld has been picked up by 20th Century Fox. The futuristic tale taps into teen angst over conformity and acceptance. Kids are called "Uglies" until they reach 16 and get surgically transformed into the attractive "Pretties," who move to the glamorous part of town. A precocious teen is threatened with being denied the procedure unless she spies on a pal who skipped the operation and joined a rebellious group. Uglies is part of a trilogy with Pretties already topping the book charts.
