David was born in the smoke and is very skilled. (The smoke is a city for people who don’t want the “pretty” operation and prefer to stay who they are). The three main characters in this book are Tally Youngblood, a 15 year old “ugly” just waiting to go across the river Shay, who is also an “ugly,” and who met Tally when they were trying to sneak across the river before having their operations and David, also an “ugly,” who lives in the smoke. But what you don’t know is that the operation changes you in another way too. Once you turn 16, an operation is performed that will turn children from an “Ugly” into a “Pretty.” Once you have been operated on and become a “Pretty,” you are allowed to cross the river into a high-tech paradise full of fun. There is a downside though everybody is born really ugly with features such as small eyes and high foreheads. During this period, there are many high-tech inventions like hoverboards and holes in the wall that will give you anything you want. This story takes place in a high-tech city on the continent of North America.
