(4) YA Sisters Lucy (the pretty one) and Megan (the ugly one) address sibling rivalry head-on. After an accident, reconstructive surgery makes Megan beautiful, and the sisters vie for the same boy at their performing arts high school. Klam's depiction of the downside of beauty and the doors that unfairly open for those born--or made--beautiful is unsubtle, but her story is engaging.
