    Hi Mr. Buxton, Scott Westerfeld came to my school and I got to talk to him about Uglies and Zeroes. He talked about what inspired him to write the story Uglies; it was really cool. Apparently, when one of his friends moved to LA from NYC, he teased his friend a lot about it. And his friend kept telling him about how things were so different from NYC (one of them being that everyone had movie star-like teeth). This led him to start thinking of the Operation, and later the book itself. Also, if you haven't yet, you should read Zeroes.
