BEST SCOTT WESTERFELD BOOKS

These are two best books by Scott Westerfeld Uglies (2005) & Leviathan (2009)

Uglies: The Uglies is the first book in Uglies series, the novel is about a young girl named Tally Youngblood, turning sixteen years and she wants to get pretty. In this context, pretty means that you have all your body taken, the skin resized, meaning the whole body is redone, it is a massive surgery. Tally is the youngest in her group and during her wait to turn sixteen so that she can have a go ahead to undergo the operation; she meets a girl named Shay. Shay does not want to undergo surgery, a decision that Tally cannot contemplate since right from childhood, she was told that she was ugly.

In the end, Shay leaves and heads to Smoke, a place where runaway Uglies live. Even though Tally does not go with Shay, the City Specials (like modern day cops), blackmail Tally that unless she brings back Shay, then she will not have the operation. In the face of a dilemma, Tally’s choice will transform her world forever.

Leviathan: In the first installment of the Leviathan series, Prince Aleksander the possible successor to the Austro- Hungarian throne is running away from his people who have turned against him, his title is now worthless and what he has is a loyal crew of men and a battle-torn war machine.

Deryn Sharp is a girl disguised as a boy in the (BAF) British Air service. She is a brave airman; however, her secret is mostly in the risk of being discovered.

1 thought on “Scott Westerfeld”

  1. I got into Westerfeld with the Uglies series. Just a really fun series to read while you are in middle school or high school. A world where you are raised to feel “ugly” until you are 16 when you get an operation to become a “pretty”. It reminds me in a way of that old Twilight Zone with the pig faces, but so much more realized and in-depth. The books really captures what it feels like to be a teenager and asks some deep questions about the nature of beauty and being loved. The rare YA book that doesn’t make you feel like you’re reading YA.

    The newer Westerfeld stuff is good as well and I really love the enjoyed the Leviathan series. Definitely recommend him to anyone around teenage age and older as well.
