Special Circumstances: The words have sent chills down Tally`s spine since her days as a repellent, rebellious ugly. Back then Specials were a sinister rumor - frighteningly beautiful, dangerously strong, breathtakingly fast. Ordinary pretties might live their whole lives without meeting a Special. But Tally`s never been ordinary. And now she`s been turned into one of them: a superamped fighting machine, engineered to keep the uglies down and the pretties stupid. The strength, the speed, and the clarity and focus of her thinking feel better than anything Tally can remember. Most of the time. One tiny corner of her heart still remembers something more. Still, it`s easy to tune that out - until Tally`s offered a chance to stamp out the...
Everybody gets to be supermodel gorgeous. What could be wrong with that? Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can`t wait. Not for her license - for turning pretty. In Tally`s world, your sixteenth birthday brings an operation that turns you from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to have a really great time. In just a few weeks Tally will be there. But Tally`s new friend Shay isn`t sure she wants to be pretty. She`d rather risk life on the outside. When Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world - and it isn`t very pretty. The authorities offer Tally the worst choice she can imagine: find her friend and turn her in, or...

The world of uglies, pretties, and specials is over. Now, it`s all about fame. In the new book in Westerfield`s "New York Times"-bestselling Uglies series, everyone`s social status is constantly monitored and rated, and anyone can be a celebrity in an instant.
Gorgeous. Popular. Perfect. Perfectly wrong. Tally has finally become pretty. Now her looks are beyond perfect, her clothes are awesome, her boyfriend is totally hot, and she`s completely popular. It`s everything she`s ever wanted. But beneath all the fun - the nonstop parties, the high-tech luxury, the total freedom - is a nagging sense that something`s wrong. Something important. Then a message from Tally`s ugly past arrives. Reading it, Tally remembers what`s wrong with pretty life, and the fun stops cold. Now she has to choose between fighting to forget what she knows and fighting for her life - because the authorities don`t intend to let anyone with this information survive.

Money makes the world go round for Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge - and when there isn`t enough of it, the world just has to spin a bit faster. Ever on the lookout for a quick buck, a solid gold fortune, or at least a plausible little scrounge, the irrepressible Ukridge gives con men a bad name. Looking like an animated blob of mustard in his bright yellow raincoat, he invests time, passion and energy (but seldom actual cash) in a series of increasingly bizarre money-making schemes. Finance for a dog college? It`s yours. Shares in an accident syndicate? Easily arranged. Promoting a kind-hearted heavyweight boxer? A snip. Poor Corky Corcoran, Ukridge`s old school chum and confidant, trails through these pages in the ebullient wake of...
