2005年，Scott发表了作品《丑人儿》(Uglies)。作品虚构了一个表面繁华美丽的New Pretty Town，这里的人们全都优雅美丽，生活富足快乐，过着无忧无虑的生活。所有的青少年只需在年满16岁时接受一次全身整容手术，即可拥有明星般的外貌和美好的生活。在这一看似充满诱惑力的“成人仪式”背后，潜藏着的却是权力机构不可告人的阴谋。然而，并不是所有人都心甘情愿地接受这样的改造。有一群反抗者，他们抗拒手术，生活在The Smoke区，被称作Uglies (丑人儿)。本书发表后，荣获了“美国图书馆协会大奖”，被翻译成八种语言，让Scott的写作事业达到了顶峰。其后，Scott陆续发表了《美人儿》(Pretties)和《特别儿》(Specials)，与《丑人儿》构成三部曲。2007年，Scott发表了外传《附加儿》(Extras)。

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE Previously published as 'The Beggar Maid' Born into the back streets of a small Canadian town, Rose battled incessantly with her practical and shrewd stepmother, Flo, who cowed her with tales of her own past and warnings of the dangerous world outside. But Rose was ambitious - she won a scholarship and left for Toronto where she married Patrick. She was his Beggar Maid, 'meek and voluptuous, with her shy white feet', and he was her knight, content to sit and adore her. Alice Munro's wonderful collection of stories reads like a novel, following Rose's life as she moves away from her impoverished roots and forges her own path in the world.

一个突然出现的白衣女人孤独地伫立在月下的荒野中。沃尔特·哈特里特一开始被她吓了一跳，但后来发现她非常害怕，头脑也不清楚，需要他的帮助。他温和有礼地同她交谈，陪她走了一段路，指给她前面应该怎么走。很快，她就又消失在了夜色里。这次偶遇拉开了一连串事件的序幕，也把沃尔特、玛丽安以及她同母异父的妹妹劳拉、珀西瓦尔爵士和他的意大利朋友福斯科伯爵扯进一个似是而非的谜团之中。而谜团的核心就是那个悲伤孤独的白衣女人，她的生活、她的过去，还有她急于在死前揭开的秘密。这是一个有关贪婪与邪恶、无辜与背叛、身份混淆与无情欺骗的故事。这也是一个爱情故事。爱情的开始是伤心和痛苦，好像没有任何出路，更没有任何希望和将来。但是，爱情不会轻易灭亡；它能够战胜离别与绝望，甚至死亡。

 The people of Inverness were deeply annoyed. A number of them stood in the square and scowled with great hostility at the three tattered wanderers in their midst—but their anger held a wary quality. “Tinklers! Gypsies!” they cried accusingly, and the soft, sibilant sound of the Gaelic was less soft but more sibilant than usual. “Briosag!” (“Witch!”) muttered some with conviction but caution. “Thieves!” they added, getting to the real heart of the annoyance. And with this fresh reminder of their grievances they began picking up stones as they advanced toward the man, woman, and girl.

At twenty-two the prince, who was forced at that time to take service in a government department in Moscow, had not a farthing.
