Fame
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.
