Why is Shay the real hero of the Uglies series Who was the better boyfriend for Tally: David or Zane How can we prevent prettyheaded behavior in our own world
In Extras, the last book in Scott Westerfelds Uglies series, Aya tells us that when Tally Youngblood made the mind-rain fall, it cured all the pretties and changed the world forever. But Tally and her friends did more than change their world; they changed ours too.
Mind-Rain continues what Tally started, with startling, funny and insightful essays on the world, characters and ideas of the Uglies series, plus the short story that inspired Westerfeld to write the books in the first place.
