Uglies

No, not a family photo album, although a picture of my boys on the cover might have sold some copies this time of year...

Uglies  

by Scott Westerfeld

I liked this one a lot... moved quick, believable dialogue, action and suspense... didn't realize it was a series so I have to read another book to find out what happens, but the story stands alone well. 10 - 13, girls especially, but "e" for everyone.
