Just when you though the cutting–edge Uglies trilogy was over, here comes something extra from Scott Westerfeld — a world where anyone can be an instant celebrity. It's a few years after rebel Tally Youngblood took down the uglies/pretties/specials regime. Without those strict roles and rules, the world is in a complete cultural renaissance. “Tech–heads” flaunt their latest gadgets, “kickers” spread gossip and trends, and “surge monkeys” are hooked on extreme plastic surgery. And it's all monitored on a bazillion different cameras. The world is like a gigantic game of American Idol. Whoever is getting the most buzz gets the most votes. Popularity rules. As if being fifteen doesn't suck enough, Aya Fuse's rank of 451,369 is so low, she's a total nobody. An extra. But Aya doesn't care; she just wants to lie low with her drone, Moggle. And maybe kick a good story for herself. Then Aya meets a clique of girls who pull crazy tricks, yet are deeply secretive of it. Aya wants desperately to kick their story, to show everyone how intensely cool the Sly Girls are. But doing so would propel her out of extra–land and into the world of fame, celebrity...and extreme danger. A world she's not prepared for.

Tally è una ragazza normale. Ma essere normali, nel suo mondo, equivale a essere brutti. Brutti solo fino a sedici anni, fino a quando non si è sottoposti per legge a un'operazione di chirurgia estetica che rende bellissimi e uguali a tutti gli altri "perfetti". Ecco perché Tally non vede l'ora di compiere sedici anni. Ma poco prima del giorno fatidico incontra Shay, che le fa scoprire il brivido dell'imprevisto e il fascino dell'imperfezione e la mette al corrente di un'inquietante versione dei fatti. Tally adesso non vede l'ora di conoscere la verità. E sarà più difficile e pericoloso di un'operazione...

The Midnighters have emerged victorious from their greatest challenge. They now know much more about the secret history of Bixby and, with the halfling dead, the Grayfoots' link to the darklings has been severed. But the cost is high. Rex's horrific experience in the desert has left him damaged, painfully suspended between light and dark. Melissa's violation of Dess's mind and the shameful revelations of her past deeds have shattered the uneasy bond among the five teenagers. What they need now is some time to heal, but what they get is the surprise of their lives when the blue time arrives in the middle of the day. It seems the walls between the secret hour and real time are crumbling, and soon the dark creatures will break through to hunt after centuries of waiting. And as if that wasn't enough for Jessica to deal with, her little sister, Beth, is becoming more and more determined to crack the secret of midnight - a goal that could have consequences more dire than she can ever have imagined.

Tally eagerly awaits her sixteenth birthday, when an operation will transform her from an 'Ugly' into a 'Pretty', granting her aesthetic perfection and a life of fun.

One year ago, Cal Thompson was a college freshman more interested in meeting girls and partying in New York City than in attending his biology classes. Now, after a fateful encounter with a mysterious woman named Morgan, biology has become, literally, Cal's life. Cal was infected by a parasite that has a truly horrifying effect on its host. Cal himself is a carrier, unchanged by the parasite, but he's infected the girlfriends he's had since Morgan-and all have turned into the ravening ghouls Cal calls peeps. The rest of us know them as vampires. And it's Cal's job to hunt them down before they can create even more of their kind. . . . Bursting with the sharp intelligence and sly humor that are fast becoming his trademark, Scott Westerfeld's new novel is an utterly original take on an archetype of horror.
