And . . . there’s one last thing you can help me out with. What movie does the plot of So Yesterday remind you of? Like, what’s a hip, urban adventure to compare it too? Maybe a missing person caper of some kind.
I need to know!
oh i want to come and me topaz and capt.cockatielwill try to recruit some others.
I just read your book called So Yesterday.
I can honestly say it’s the most interesting book I’ve ever read. I love how it’s just different from other books and makes you think.
I’m doing a big huge project on this for school [I’m a freshman at Spooner High School], it’s for literature class, and I need to do a section on you, so that’s why I’m emailing you, to tell you about this and that I loved your book and I’m planning on reading more of them.
So Yesterday reminds me a lot of the 1995 film Hackers. Both invole running around NYC from a sort of unknown enemy. Many consider Hackers to be Angelina Jolie’s breakout film. Seriously Scott, check it out. They are very similar.

Hey I don’t know of any movies like So Yesterday. There is probably a Kevin Bacon film with that plot though. lol

You should come to Canada!(Specifically B.C.)Like Florence said, We do not live in igloos(it barely even snows here!It’s so warm!) or keep beavers as pets.(I for one, have never even seen a beaver)BUt anyays, I really love your Uglies trilogy. I just finished specials,(Which was the best book I have read) and I am reading it once more. I even made my sister read uglies, and I made her read so yesterday. Come to Canada!!!!!!
Just finished reading So Yestersday and was considering using it as a class novel (I teach reading to sophomores). Googled Westerfeld and wound up here…cool. When I thought about what movie the plot reminded me of my mind darted to Time Square. I haven’t seen the movie in over 25 years, but it definitely left a lasting impression. There is no doubt that this was a hip, urban adventure, and the protagonists easily compare to ’80s innovator/jammers.
Yes, listen to Molly. Come to BC. North Vancouver. My school library, where only my friends and I go.
Please?
