Annotation:
Aya Fuse is a kicker in her city, where everyone has a feed (similar to social networking).In order for her to enhance her popularity and status she must kick an unbelievable story. Aya attempts to track a group of girls who are doing daring and adventurous things, so she can kick their story, but in the process discovers a dangerous secret.
Summary:
This is a companion book the Uglies trilogy. Instead of following Tally Youngblood we follow Aya Fuse. Even though Tally is no longer the main character, she still appears in the book in a major role. Ava is a normal fifteen year old “Ugly” who’s face rank is extremely low, making her an “Extra.” Your face-rank allows you to do and have the most exciting things. Ava is set out to be a part of that and her way to fame as a kicker, someone who finds and reports on the best stories in their world. As she sets out to this, she finds herself meeting a group of girls who want to remain under the radar and the adventure begins leading her all the way to Ms. Tally Youngblood.
Megan says:
Extras is not really a fourth book to the Uglies Series, but it is an extension of the story and therefore worth reading. Especially due to the fact that Tally Youngblood makes an ever so famous appearance! Teens who couldn't get enough of the Uglies MUST read Extras!
