Want a free book? (Besides all the ones we have free to borrow at the Oak Lawn Public Library, of course.) For a limited time, publisher Simon & Schuster is offering a free download of Scott Westerfeld's novel, Uglies. (It's in the PDF format.) The story is a future in which everyone at age 16 is transformed from an "Ugly" to a "Pretty" -- someone who conforms to an ideal of beauty and who is free to play and party. But Tally Youngblood is about to discover the secret price for becoming pretty.
If the free sample gets you hooked, you can follow up on the series with Pretties, Specials, and Extras -- available at your local library.
