About the Author(Reese H.)

Scott Westerfeld was born on May 5, 1963 in Dallas, Texas. He is a famous author who has written a lot of different books like the one we are reading called Uglies. Some other book that he has written include Afterworlds, Peeps, So Yesterday, and many others. One interesting fact that I found was the he is a vegetarian. He also has studied some different languages like Japanese, Spanish, and Latin.

Uglies is probably one of his most famous books. It was originally published on February 8, 2005. It is the first book in the series and it has 3 other books which are Pretties, Specials, and Extras. I think he wrote this series to entertain us with a book that is set in future because when books are set in the future, that means that they could possibly happen later on in life. I think he also wrote it to teach us the being pretty isn't everything.
