Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Kayla (Midnight Twilight)

It's been a few years since Tally took down the pretties warped society. The world is now in a cultural renaissance. The world is one big popularity contest where "tech-heads" flaunt their newly created gadgets, "kickers" spread the latest gossip and newest trends, and "surge monkeys" are hooked on the most extreme plastic surgery. All these things are monitored by tons of different cameras that stream the information for everyone else to watch. The higher your face count the more popular you are (number one being the most popular person in the world, Tally Youngblood)

Aya Fuse has a measly score of 451,369, she is a fifteen year old nobody. An extra. Her only way to fame is to find a totally wild and unexpected story to kick. Aya then meets the Sly Girls, a super secret clique who love to pull crazy tricks. But there's something more that the Sly Girls are hiding, something big. This discovery will change the new world forever. If Aya kicks this story she will be propelled into fame and fortune, and a world of extreme danger. A world she may not be prepared for.


Scott Westerfeld unexpectedly wrote a fourth book in his Uglies series, and i am ecstatic about it. In Extras we meet a whole new set of characters that are just as amazing as the ones in the other books (though Tally and the gang do make a slight appearance). This book is in a whole different society than in the Uglies books, Tally's fight worked the way it was intended, and there are no more bubbleheads (other than the people who still want to be one). Aya goes on her own adventure to fame, fortune, and to save the world. And has just as many obstacles as Tally. This all makes for one great adventure/fantasy. I can't wait to read more from Scott Westerfeld.
