Uglies: Shay's Story by Scott Westerfeld, Devin Grayson, Steven Cummings

5.0

I was already a fan of the Uglies series, so when I found out from a friend that her library had the graphic novels, I had to go check mine. I was in luck! This is the first graphic novel I have read as well, and I really did love it. It follows along the same timeline as the Uglies series only from Shay's point of view and what was going on with her instead of Tally. (You still get to see some of Tally though of course!) I liked seeing things from her perspective, and maybe I put too much thought into it, but I truly like how the artist drew Shay as already SO pretty! It really drove home the point of what this government was doing...brainwashing all the kids to think less of themselves, and like Shay even says in the book, to hate themselves. I'm eager to read Cutters, the next in the series as well and see more from Shay's head!
