Is the Uglies Trilogy appropriate for 8th grade summer reading?

I'm suppose to read 3 books and write a summary about each of them and I hated the books recommended for me on the list, so I chose the Uglies Trilogy. Are the books like childish or something?Is the Uglies Trilogy appropriate for 8th grade summer reading?
The Uglies Trilogy is perfect for your assignment. Uglies is set in the future, yet it still deals with issues that are important to preteens, teens, and young adults. These issues range from over-use of oil, appearance, and trying to be yourself in a world that wants you be something else.





I defiantly recommend that you read the fourth book, Extras. It is set a few years after the other books and gives the reader a view of the world after Tally's adventures.Is the Uglies Trilogy appropriate for 8th grade summer reading?
Absolutely. When I was in eighth grade a year ago, we were actually REQUIRED to read the Uglies Trilogy for the cirriculum. It's very appropriate and the stereotypes/struggles in society are relevant to teens today.





It's an amazing book with an amazing story to tell, and it's not boring either. Read it. :)
It actually has 4 books in it. The 4th one invloves some new characters and is called Extras.





No! They're awesome! They're totally appropriate and really good! I'm sure you'll love them.





Hope I helped! :)

No, it was written for middle schoolers. It's sci-fi with adventure and a little bit of romance. Read it, it's an awesome book.
The books are very good. Uglies won a Golden Duck Award for excellence in Young Adult Science Fiction.
