Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld is one of the most popular sci/fi
authors for teens in the last few years, with two trilogies and 3 stand alone
books, he's worth a look.
Born to a computer programmer in the 60s, when computers really were
"on-the-edge" technology, it's no wonder Scott Westerfeld went on to write about
the future, creating technology that most poeple have only dreamed about. He
struck gold with the Midnighters series and the Uglies series,
even to the point that Twentieth Century Fox has chosen Uglies as one of
their possible films for 2010.
Westerfeld was born on May 5, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, but as a child, moved
to Callifornia and Connecticut for his father, Lloyd's, job. His mother, Pamela
and two older sisters, Wendy and Jackie, rounded out the Westefeld family. It
must have been an exciting time, growing up with a father who traveled to new
towns to work on the newest types of technology. He had the opportunity to see
his dad working with the Apollo missions in Houston, on Boeing planes in
California, and on submarines in Connecticut.
Though Westerfeld seemed to live a fairly normal (though not necessarily
ordinary) childhood, he received a very prestigious education. He graduated from
Arts Magnet High School in Dallas. He then went on to get his Bachelor of Arts
in Philosophy at Vassar (located in Poughkeepsie, New York) in 1985. WIthout a
break, Westefeld went right into his graduate work in Performance Studies at New
York University. Throughout his life he has held a number of jobs, ranging from
ghost writer, to textbook editor, substitute teacher, factory worker and
software designer.

The Uglies is about...
A girl named Tally who is about to turn sixteen and she can't wait, because once your sixteen you get an operation to turn you from an unattractive Ugly to a beautiful Pretty. There is only one problem- her new friend Shay is perfectly fine with being ugly, so she decides to run away. When the doctors see her for the operation, they give her two life changing options- to find Shay and turn her in, or to never become pretty. Unluckily, Tally has no idea where Shay could be. Even if she did, becoming a Pretty would mean betraying her best friend. Can you imagine a worse situation?
