The Uglies Series by Scott Westerfeld may very well be one of my favorite book series ever. First of all, the world he creates is disturbingly possible to what our world could someday become. His descriptions of landscapes are amazing, it makes you feel as if you are there with the characters the entire time. I love all of the scifi inventions that he creates, and again, it is very possible that these things will be created in our world in no time at all.
I think what is most spectacular about this series is the strong female lead. Tally Youngblood is a very firey young woman who voices her opinions. Throughout the novel, every challenge she faces strengthens her, and she pulls through every time. Though bad stuff happens to her, she never lets it get her down. Any girl that reads this series will be inspired by Tally.
I recommend this series to anyone who wants to read a good female role, and anyone who is interested in the possible future of our world. Keep in mind, this series is not only for girls, because there is fire and fighting and acid as well as a strong female lead.
