Childrens

The world of Uglies is a complex place filled with bubbly technology and lingo, yet bogus rules about status and appearance. That's why a guide to the world of uglies has been requisitioned from the hole in the wall. Inside you'll find: A rundown on all the cliques, from Crims and Cutters to tech-heads and surge-monkeys. The complete history, starting with the destruction of the oil bug to the launch of Extras in space. How all those awesome gadgets came to be: hoverboards, eyescreens, skintennas, sneak suits. Plus an exclusive look at Scott Westerfeld's first draft of Extras -- starring Hiro, not Aya. And so much more, it's mind-wrecking.
