Extras takes place several years after Tally Youngblood ended the whole ugles/pretties/specials fiasco. But things in the future are still a little weird.
Aya Fuse is fifteen. She lives in a city in Japan where your rank determines everything. Fame is everything here. And what sucks for Aya is that although her older brother is totally known, Aya is a total extra, with a rank of 451,369. No one knows her. Shes an extra.
Aya wants to turn this around, so she starts to sneak out to parties and follow a group of girls who perform the coolest tricks but dont want the fame. These are the Sly Girls. Aya convinces them to let her join, and she starts to make some friends among them while also learning their tricks and filming them on the side. But it turns out that theres something bigger lurking out there. And its up to Aya and her new friends to stop them.
Extras was yet another thrilling story from Scott Westerfeld. The plot was always exciting; I was literally on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book. The characters are easy to understand, but mostly I love this book because of its unique storyline. There isnt much of Tally, Shay, and David shown in this story, but the glimpses of them are true to their characters. I loved this story, as I did Uglies,Pretties, and Specials before that. I definitely recommend this novel to everyone.
