For the fans seeking a book-to-movie adaptation they can look forward to this calendar year, coming soon to Netflix with a star-studded cast (Joey King, Laverne Cox and Chase Stokes, to name a few) Uglies takes dystopia up a notch in a sinister way. By age 16, citizens undergo a procedure that turns ‘uglies’ into ‘pretties’ through surgical reconstruction. This story of individuality and rebellion makes this the start of a series you’ll obsess over.

by Nisi Shawl ‧ Ten-year-old Winna Cole can see ghosts—and they’ve got a mystery for her to solve. When Winna hears the crunch of her glasses breaking underneath her sister Tupelo’s butt, she literally cannot see how she’s going to enjoy her time in Vandalia. Fortunately, Grampa Carl held on to a pair of spectacles that belonged to her Great-Aunt Estelle, and they help her communicate with her ancestors on a magical journey to save her mom and herself.
