Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Jenna

Scott Westerfeld does it again! I cannot say how much I enjoyed this book. The fourth book in the Uglies series, Extras tops the rest. Of course, you may want to read the first three before this one, but the story picks up so quickly, you could easily start with this one!

Fifteen-year-old Aya Fuse is an extra. A high-face-ranked nobody. Her older brother is nearing the top one thousand, and she's still stuck in the dorms, posting interesting but unacknowledged stories on her personal feed about graffiti artists and interesting cliques. Nobody wants to re-kick stories kicked by a 400,000+ ranked ugly. But then Aya finds a story that could get her right to the top, perhaps even past her cocky brother Hiro. The Sly Girls pull stunts that would make them the most famous clique in the city. There's just one problem: they refuse to tell anyone about their tricks. How can she film a clique that would rather be invisible than famous? Along the way, Aya gets tangled up in something even bigger than fame. Secretly kicking a clique is one thing, but saving the world is something she's totally unprepared for.

This book is incredible. I would recommend it to absolutely anyone.
