About this ebook

The final installment of Scott Westerfeld’s New York Times bestselling and award-winning Uglies series—a global phenomenon that started the dystopian trend.

A few years after rebel Tally Youngblood takes down the Specials regime, a cultural renaissance sweeps the world. “Tech-heads” flaunt their latest gadgets, “kickers” spread gossip and trends, and “surge monkeys” are hooked on extreme plastic surgery. Popularity rules, and everyone craves fame.

Fifteen-year-old Aya Fuse is no exception. But Aya’s face rank is so low, she’s a total nobody. An extra. Her only chance at stardom is to kick a wild and unexpected story.

Then she stumbles upon a big secret. Aya knows she is on the cusp of celebrity. But the information she is about to disclose will change both her fate…and that of the brave new world.

Ratings and reviews

The last of the uglies series... When I began this book, I was thoroughly disappointed that it wasn't through Tally's point of view. About mid way, I understood what Westerfield was doing when he changed a bit of the format, and followed a new path. It was brilliant. I am still not sure if I like Aya, but I do believe we all have a little of her in us. The whole series was suspense, and you could see the happily ever after so close, but never quite getting there. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.

In school my l.a. teacher gave us a choice of what book we wanted her to read to us. It was either uglies or the hunger games. I'm so glad my class picked this book. It is honestly on of the best series of books I've EVER read..... sad its over though.

This series has gotten me into reading. It is the foundation of all my dystopian experience and I can honestly say that thid entire series has changed my life.
