The Real Extras Cover!

Posted on by scott

Psych!

Here’s the real cover:

Thanks to Katerate for her zombie-tastic April Fool’s Day image. It was much enjoyed by all and sundry.

Extras comes out Tuesday, October 2, 2007. And yes, you can all pre-order it right now!

PS If you haven’t finished Specials yet, you probably shouldn’t read this comment thread. Or the comments on the April 1 post. Or any comments anywhere. Ever.

  1. OHMIGOSH!! I am so excited about Extras….I just can’t wait!! But, I’m wondering….where are we going with this one? I mean, it felt to me like Specials pretty much wrapped up the trilogy….

  7. I found this site through a most circuitous route. I was visiting Robin LaFever’s site and she linked to Lauren’s site. I read that post then read a lot more (loved her site, really!), then clicked on her bio page. And about fell off my chair. Had to call in my daughter, who truly adores your books, and she was super-impressed to see me on your page. She’s thrilled about the new book, and already has the date marked off on her “Must buy this book the day it comes out” calendar.
    Being the kind of mom that I am (read that as slightly over-protective, ahem.) I’ve also read your books. I enjoy them, very much. Not my normal cuppa, but they are very good.
    Just thought it was rather odd that I ended up here, after checking links on my very own blogroll, and that I’d just finished your latest book very recently. Even had plans to dish on it a bit on my blog.
    Beautiful cover, btw.

  8. Oh, I like this cover; it will definitely fit in with the rest of the Uglies Trilogy. I like the faded tint, too.

  9. And geez, I’m such an idiot. I meant JUSTINE’s site. I was reading a different site earlier, and somehow my brain confused the two names. Please don’t tell your charming wife that I gave her a different name!

  10. *giggle,giggle* Yes! I can’t wait till it comes out. And that is a really cool-looking cover there. I’m already planning on buying it the day it comes out. It’s so cool. Haha. I’m so psyched.

  11. yaytime! *does happy dance*

    i can now officially begin a countdown XD XD XD

    *hugs Scott* you rox

  12. I’m sorry I didn’t write sooner but I just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE your books and that I cannot wait until Extras comes out!

    Love the cover!

  13. Phew. When I saw that other cover yesterday, the first thought I had was, “Oh dear God.” The best part about the joke cover was the hinting of Zane rising from the dead, and even that gave me more of the creeps than comfort. I love the new book’s cover. I’m not sure if this is just a coincidence, or if it was planned like this, but the girl on the cover really does look Asian/Japanese. Well, now I’ll know what to look for when I hunt for the book. Only half a year until October, 6 months and counting.

  17. Exactly 6 months from today, I know what I’ll be reading :]

    This cover isn’t as colorful as the last three. And is the tagline seriously just “the new york times bestselling series”? Lame. *pouts*

    Oh well. I don’t judge books by their covers anyway. [/lie]
    But I think everyone already knows that Extras is going to be amazing. The cover could be blank and it would still be awesome.

  19. *happy dances too* i cant wait but like iminlovewithjonhathan said where is it going to be placed on the cover because now its kindof looks like s peeps cover

  20. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i CANNOT wait until October!!!!!!!!! this cover is much better than yesterdays little joke. it has the same look as the trilogy and i tottaly lubb!!! im tellin all my teachers and evrything becuz they know how much of a fan i am! gonna preorder now!!

  21. I have to admit, I kind of thought that the trilogy was finished completely. Too many things leaving you hanging, in my opinion. Much, much, much to many. Maybe one or two things. Hmm, so the fake cover gives everyone a hint of what will happen…at least one thing…I think…

    When I got on earlier, I hadn’t seen yesterday’s cause I was snowboarding, and this was my first reaction to the fake cover: OMG, that’s weird…but I love the real cover…it would be funny if some of the Extras books were published with that cover…really funny…

    Aw! No fair…October 6…that’s like, seven months dude! And then I must wait at least half a year before I can buy the book in paper back…

  22. OK, let me now have a fangirlish moment-SQUEE!!!. Alright, I have recovered. But I really can’t wait, and I think your cover is great Scott. I hate it when covers don’t match, it makes me angry. So now I will go and preorder Extras, just as soon as I get some of the other books I have preordered, so my mother can’t get mad at me for buying too many books that I can’t read yet…Thanks for the joke, of course, I loved it, you really got me at first.

    But can we have Zane back? Pretty(heh-heh) please?!

  23. Oh crap, I just realized something…Zane died, Tally is now with David in the woods…so really, if Zane comes back, it means Tally has to make another hard decision…fun!

    I’m really off topic, but oh well…I’m going to make my mom, dad, and grandma, and then everyone else I can convince, to read Peeps…strangely, although I have yet to read The Risen Empire, The Killing of Worlds, and The Last Days(plus Extras when that comes out) only Peeps and So Yesterday don’t end sad…

    The Sadness is Zane dies, Jessica gets stuck in the blue time, and then I haven’t read any of the others yet, so yeah…

  24. Shelby-wa is right. It IS incredibly sad that Zane dies and that Jessica gets stuck in the blue time. I wanna know why you can’t give us the endings that we want- the ones where the couples end up together…I mean, come on! 😉 Oh well. I CAN’T WAIT for Extras!! 🙂

  25. okay why in the heck would you just change narators on us Scott? I mean tally has been the narrator for 3 books. how can you just dump her like that? I think that Tally was pretty cool anyways. Im glad that Zane died. i didn’t like him. Thanks ofr doing that.

    Will the characters be the same if the narrator changes? You said tally might make a guest apperance but what about everyone else? Are there going to be new characters along with the narrator?

  26. I AM SOOOOOOO PREORDERING THIS BOOK OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO INSANELY EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  27. Scott-la, the tagline is awful though.
    Nice cover but really: “New york times best selling series”???

  29. However lame it is, that’s probably not up to him :(.
    *squee* SIX MONTHS!
    I’m gunna drive my friends crazy from now until then.
    Happy preemptive half birthday to Extras.

  30. I can’t wait! I am definitely pre-ordering it, or buying it the day it comes out. I can’t wait. Only six more months!

  32. Oh my GOD thats fantastic. The lighting on her face is perfect, and I like the hair blowing across her face (Aya is pretty! Well, not officially, but, y’know…).
    But…’The New York Times Bestselling Series’? Please don’t tell me that’s the tagline.
    Must…preorder…now…

  34. Well, I wanted to Pre-Order it but my Mom was like “Why would you pre-order it if you not going to get it until it comes out anyways”..She doesn’t understand..shes a party pooper haha. Well I’m going to to go beg my mom again..

    Later 😉

  37. Omg it’s amazing. I love it X3 I can’t wait till it comes out!!
    I really want to pre-order it by my dad hates buying stuff online..unless it’s from Costco XD

    Earlier today I was thinking about how fantasy novels rarely have Asians (or ‘races’ that refer to Asians..[uhh kinda ish]) in it…lol. I’m just being weird, haha.

  39. YAY!! I loves it. Excellent image. 😀

    Hmm. To pre-order or not to pre-order? That is the question. Ya know, your books are so popular now that the bookstores are actually putting them out on the shelves ON TIME, rather than a week early. So there is really no difference in pre-ordering or going to the bookstore. Off to debate this dilemma….

  42. ZANE DIES!!!!!!!!!!! WHY DID YOU KILL HIM!!! He was my favorite character. And you killed him.

  44. I absolutly loved the uglies trillogy and i am very excited that there is going to be another book because when i finished the specials i was just left with an empty feeling like there should be more (no doubt i loved the book) but i am happy to know that there will be more 🙂

  46. Man, I can’t believe I fell for that! No, wait…yes I can. I’m the least astute person I know. XD I realized about two seconds after I posted my comment that the cover was a joke. XD Still, zombie!Zane is pretty awesome and I might not be able to stop myself from thinking up some sort of crossover fanart thing with my webcomic (which will be coming back from hiatus on the same day as “Extras” is being released :O ). I guess it’s almost inevitable: zombie!Zane would fit in just fine with the cast of “Ye Gods!”. >D

    Yay for the continuation of the eye-catching, bubbly, happy-making book covers! I love them. And this one is as awesome as the other three. 🙂

  47. Lindey-la, you’re crazy…completely and utterly crazy. Zane was my favorite character, I must admit…but wanting him to die? That’s sacriligious, woman!!!

    Katie- yeah, same here. It just felt as if something was missing, as if it still hadn’t ended. When I finished Specials, I was like: WHAT!?!?! THAT’S IT?!?! It left me hanging so much. What happened to the cities? What did Tally and David do out in the woods? Would they ever provke Tally’s threat: “But be careful, the next time we meet, it may get ugly.” Ok, so I doubt those are the exact words, but close to them…

  49. i agree with Katie and Shelby-wa. the books leave us hanging. but i like them that way. it’s Scotts style!!!!(as i said in my project on him!) But Scott, will the tagline change???

  50. wow… i hope that every one had a good april fools day… and i LOVE the cover!!! its AWESOME!!! well any way this is really really randome… and please scott dont get mad!

    but i just read this really GREAT book, its called Twilight, by: Stephenie Meyer. its about this girl that moves to a new town… and meets this guy who is not what he appers to be… but its really great and their is a second called New Moon

  52. OMG!
    i cant wait
    its going to be soooooo awsome
    i cant wait
    i cant wait times 10000000000000000000000000
    its going to be soooo great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  53. Shelby-wa, im not completley crazy. :] OK i wasn’t happy when zane died, i mean i cried but still! He got in the way of Tally and David who i guess are meant to be!!!!

    everyone is right. That tagline has got to chage! How BORING? Alexa xoxo- i’ve read twilight too and I know it is amazing. I didn’t like New Moon as much though…. Tell me what you think!

    Sorry Scott I know im not talking about your books but I love you too! o yeah, Alexa xoxo, i can’t wait until Eclips(the third book in the Twilight series) comes out! August 7th in counting!

    This is sooooooo cool! I have two awesome new books to look forward to when the summer ends!!!!!!

  55. Hmmmm… so many books suggested and now have to read them all!!!!!Lindsey-wa and Alexa xoxo, my friend has also told me to read Twilight. Well Scott i have to just read my now lost 3rd Midnighters and Peeps. Then i have to wait until October….so far away.

  56. WOW!! i Just realized that i’ve read almost all of your books. i love them all and you are an amazing writer.

    *sigh* still sad the narrator had to change….

  57. i still need to read your other books my friend told me about the uglies and now i want to see what else you have written because i was blown away by this trillogy

  58. Ah, but David could have Shay, which would make her happy and not hate Tally as much, and Tally could have Zane 🙂 it would have worked perfectly…I liked Zane better then David, though, so that may also alter my opinion…

  59. shelby-wa : i no i was hoping he would explain everything i wanted to know what happened AFTER i didnt just want him to leave us hanging but hopefully some of our questions will be answered in this new book =]

  61. This cover is great,
    and it doesn’t creep me out as much as that Zane-back-from-the-dear-april-fools cover does, which is a plus. ;DD

  62. i did like zane and when he was alive i thought tally should be with him but i always felt bad for david but when zane died everything was simplified and it gave tally a chance to fall in love with david again because he was always in love with her but they brain washed her to forget him

  63. Wowsy Wowsa!
    Beautiful, magnifique.
    I wish I had come onto this site on April 1st, that would’ve been a blast. I think I would have died a little inside.
    October is too long, Scott.
    IT’S TOO LONG!
    *cries*
    *runs away*

  64. Why does everyone think David is better just because he was first? Zane rocks! He and Tally felt more real the way they helped each other be bubbly. David was too adoring-y for me.

    Plus I just like Zane.:)

  65. Why do so many books come out in the fall? I’m going to be broke ‘Fall 2007’.

    (The Sunrise Lands (Yes!), S.M. Sterling, Eclipse (Kool-aid’s ‘OH YEAH’), Stephenie Meyer, EXTRAS (Uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it ” “), guess, and others which I fail to remember at the moment.)

  66. IndigoEyes: i most definelty agree with you about Zane!!! he was in love with Tally and then he dies and Tally goes back to David. But still David is pretty cool too, but mostly just in the 1st book.

  70. IndigoEyes: I agree completely. David was ok for the first book, but then Zane seems best for the other two. Poor, poor Zane…poor Tally as well, since she liked him as much as he liked her…lol, and I’m the same; I luff Zane. HE was my favvy character before he died…and Zane died because he wanted to do cosmetic surge or whatever so that Tally would like him again 🙁 Like I said, poor Zane and Tally…

    Katie: Yeah, same here. IF i read a trilogy, or eries, or a books or whatever, I can tell if they’re leaving information out. The info that I want to know, otherwise I’m helplessly hanging…

  71. Aw thats sucks…I spent 15 minutes at the library last night TRYING to find The Last Days, which was supposedly in, and it ended up in the wrong place, which was why i couldn’t find it…oh well, i have it and can read it now…

  73. lindsey-la… well iv only read Twilight… and it was great!! im waiting for New Moon to come out in paper back… my mom has this thing about hard back cuz they cost more!!! and i hope that new moon is good cuz it would really be a let down if it wasnt… but she set the bar high with the first one!!

    and sorry scott… your books are amazing to!! i think that you should read Twilight?!

  74. Hey Scott i need to know one thing…IS ZANE COMING BACK IN THIS BOOK OR WHAT?!? You’re smart i’m sure you could it out somehow like they took him off the life support machines and Tally ran out thinking he was dead but he survived but she doesn’t know it and wooohoo there he is all loving her again.

  77. Ah, I’m so excited! As everyone else has pretty much said, I can’t wait. But, I also think it should’ve ended with Specials. Adding another drags it on, in my eyes. Yet I’m so happy you have continued. So confused, but great job Scott!

  78. katie- a tagline is the thing on the book that says stuff like “in a world of extreme beauty, anyone normal is ugly” (i think that was the tagline for uglies) and bnicki- i dont think zane is comming back, sorry. its not that i dont want him back but this book has totaly different characters in it. it takes place in a different country. and zanes dead. would you rather tally be dating some reincarnate/ zombified thing of zane? im sorry but thats just a tad disterbing to me.

  79. sorry 2 all u zane lovers, but i did like david better i mean he & tally both know how 2 b individuals & david new tally when she was still herself & tally actualy got rid of the leisons herself but zane couldn’t he had to take a pill & thisis a really long sentence

    im SOOOOO excited 4 extras 2 come out but my parents hate preordering 🙁

    btw scott, sorry but the tagline really does suck, you can do better than “the new york times bestselling series”

  80. i totaly agree w/ iminlovewithjonathan-dating a zombie would be strange/gross beyond belief

  81. i agree that that david was all fine and dandy in the first book and Zane was the best in the second, but since Zane died, Tally and David were just meant to be. And Zane’s brain was so messed up and he was put out of his misery. If yall don’t remember, Tally didn’t like seeing Zane “crippled”

    But like bnicki said- it would be pretty cool if Zane just came back!!! =]

  82. Tally didn’t like seeing Zane crippled because she was special! She could sort of control that by the end of the book (“Being normal didn’t seem pathetic to her now”) so I don’t think she’d mind that much any more. Especially if the surgery Zane asked for, you know, ACTUALLY WORKED. (Sorry, I’m still mad about that.)

  83. i was on the phone when i first saw this and i tried really hard not to scream in my friends ear.
    i can’t wait till it comes out! i was hoping there would be more after specials! YAY!

  84. the surgery for zane didnt work just because of the attack right? because didnt something go wrong and then doctors didnt no so they couldnt get to him in time?

  85. The surge didn’t work cause the brain tissue was rejected and there was no one there to get him into surgery to fix him soon enough.

  86. bring zane back would only hurt tally more. she just got to a point where people aren’t trying to change her into some major physco and bring zane back would only destabelize her.

    by the way, do they bury people there or do they do something else?

  88. well i always kind of sort of like david better!!! but thats just me… and tally and david were ment to be togeather!! dont get me wrong i still liked zane. and i wonder if tally and david are going to this other country and try to change their system to??!!

    i just cant wait!!!!!

  89. Cait-wa: yeah that is true if they brought zane back tally’s life would just become more of a mess

    Alexa xoxo: i always liked david better too 😀

  90. so you mean zane isn’t going to come back as a zombieish person????????????????????
    oh well…i wouldn’t want him to be a zombie anyways
    i like the real cover

  91. im sorry but i dont like tally too much anymore. shes very shallow. she didnt like zane becuase he shook. she didnt like david because he wasnt a pretty. she seems very shallow. she was cool before but in specials and the end of pretties she was just very self centered and shallow. it was her fault zane wanted that operation. he just wanted tally to accept him again.

  92. Yeah, I know what you mean. I always manage to like the main character, and I still like Tally (not sure why) but it is her fault Zane died.
    She felt remorse and all that. But still.

  93. i love Tally!!! i mean is it her fault that she is being switched and played around with by Dr. Cable and David?? not really. and with all that going on i think Tally would feel wierd around Zane.but she still did love him.

  94. This is probably going to turn into a debate, but I don’t think Tally’s shallow. It’s not her fault Zane died, because it’s not her fault she didn’t like him because he shook. Dr.Cable messed with her head and changed it to where she was disgusted by anyone who wasn’t a Special. I know she eventually changed that, but it’s not like she could’ve just rewired overnight. & I don’t think Tally left David because he was ugly. She might have, but I just don’t think it’s like that. And look at it this way. She chose Zane, but he was pretty and pretty much brain-damaged. She stayed with him to be transformed, against her will, into a Special. So she would risk all of that, just because he was pretty? When she could have escaped and left with David?

  95. Actually, to correct everyone, it’s Shay’s fault…she brought her to the Smoke, she got her into the crims in Pretty Town, and she made Tally a special, which was why she started not liking Zane…

    And to help everyone, Zane died because he got the operation so Tally would like him again, and so he wasn’t all twitchy or whatever, but the new brain tissues were rejected by his body for some reason, and they, liked, destroyed each other, so by the time a doctor came, they couldn’t just take the brain tissues out and save him…

  96. Hey, Scott, just a quick question…is it a bad thing that I like meat a lot more suddenly? And that I tend to be eating more, but not gaining anything? And salads have just grown…eww…

  97. oh mi gee!!

    oh i am so excitted!!
    i was in nyc and i kept thinking about scott and how he lived there some times. haha. anyways.

    yeah im excitted!

  98. Zane was so freakin fawesome…you know, this s really off topic, but I think my teacher is going to wonder why that strange word is in one of my assignments…and what it means:)

  99. awsomenes! I can’t believe we have to wait 6 months for it. But I’m totally excited =DD

  101. which Tally was going to take b/c Shay was a pretty-head and wouldn’t take it but then they ended up spliting..annnnd Tally wouldn’t have even known about the pills if SHAY wouldn’t have told her about the Smoke

    she would have just ended up being Pretty and going out with Zane if it wasn’t for Shay..

    Shay,Shay,Shay haha

  102. Lynda- And then he wanted to get the damaged repaired because he wanted Tally to like him again…and I know…I ust read Pretties a month ago. I can remember a books almost exact words from close to a year ago…

    Ally- Exactly…if Shay hadn’t told her about the Smoke, she wouldn’t of met David, then she wouldn’t of taken the pill with Zane, and then she wouldn’t of had to decide between David and Zane…and Zane wouldn’t of died…

  103. Yeah haha everything would be peachy keen..except for the whole lesions thing but she wouldn’t know about them

  106. Tally is not Shallow. all of those opoerations have messed with her brain and screwed her up. Zane comming back would only hurt her it was because she was made special that Tally didn’t like the way zane looked. remember that tally couldn’t stand David at first because the wasn’t pretty. and yes Ally, it is Shay’s fault. She brought Tally to the Smoke, she made Tally made and guilty for messing with her and David, and Shay made sure tally was made special.

    Sorrry this is so long 🙂

  107. Aaaah. I love the cover. Very pretty. Or, I mean, very “extra” ha ha ha.
    I must preorder it from the library… must pester them with hold requests… bwah ha ha ha!

  108. WHAT!? i have been out of the loop for too long now i guess, but is this ANOTHER book in the “uglies” series??!!! oh man i hope so. I’ve read all of your books, well almost i’m working on the midnighter series right now and i can’t seem to put them down. i love your writing style, how the book comes to life, i feel like i’m watching a movie but i’m really reading a book and i LOVE that. i think it would be awesome to have all these books made into movies or tv shows (movies would be better though). Gosh now i can’t wait until october. The first book i read of your was “So Yesterday” and i came upon that book completly be accident, i was looking for a hilary duff c-d for my 14 year old brother who is obsessed with her and i can’t remember where but it showed your book so i went to the library and checked it out a couple days later and read it that night then put a couple more books of yours on hold and have been reading them ever since i LOVE THEM! they are books you can read over and over and still enjoy them. anyways i just wanted to thank you for writing such great books that let me escape from the days stresses. I am a HUGE fan. i feel like i need to thank Hilary Duff and my brother too for helping me come across your books. Thanks again

  109. shelby- i dont think that ur becomeing a peep because u want more meat and not greens… its prolly just a craving… i have them all the time, i had one for little debbie last night!! lol

    and i think that tally just want every one to be happy kind of and to have a perfect life… i think that she secretly wants to be prettie and just for get about he whole smoke thing… but idk cuz im not tally!! hehe

  111. i think tally can be shallow at times but she isnt at other times. she wasnt being shallow when she sacraficed herself for zane, but she was kind of being shallow when she went to the smoke for the first time b/c the only reason she wanted to go was becasue she wanted to be pretty. o and if tally had never met shay then she wouldnt have known any crims so she wouldn’t have even gotten together w/ zane. but wait…wasn’t peris a crim? so he could have been able to introduce her but this is a really long post and im confusing myself so i’ll stop.

  112. Yeah, Tally can be shallow but it’s not her fault. Everyone has changed her with operations and all that stuff. We really almost never knew the real Tally except for when she “rewired” herself

  113. Amanda- you stumbled across Scott because of hillary duff? lol. i dont like her all that much and every time i think about that book or something that pertains to it that song gets stuck in my head.

  114. the only reason tally became crim though was because of the whole smoke thing. if she hadnt have gone to the smoke she might not have been accepted into the crim clique. although she was a bit of a prnakster before hand so you never know.

  115. Tally is not shallow!!!! She was brain washed with being pretty form birth and when she found out how bad it was, she tried to stop it and when she sacrificed herself so the cure could be tested, she wasn’t being shallow and when she became special it was Shay’s fult!!! now that i think about it it really was all shay’s fault to begin with!!!

    Shay Shay Shay!!!!

  117. serously amanda. very funny ablut the hilery duff thing. never would have thought that would happen.

  118. don’t worry Amanda, youre not the only one with a funny story about finding scott. i read midnighters because my sister got it from her book fair and then i read uglies becasue my friend said it was really good and i didn’t realize they were both by scott until i looked at them at the same time for some reason
    *slaps self for being so stupid*

  119. Cait-wa yes she was a prankster she was the one who always snuck out and tricked the minders and tricked the hover boards. the thing to new pretty place obviously wasnt the first time she snuck over because the book said she and peris had gone numerous times.

  120. i started reading scott’s books because my friend erin forcibly made me read twilight by stephenie meyer and i loved it. so i asked her what else i should read while waiting for new moon to come out and she suggested the midnighters. thank you erin! 🙂

  121. I started reading Scott’s books with a book club that my mom forced me into. I started with so yesterday. Really good. I was hooked. by the way sorry about the tally paris mix-up. I always thought that it was because of paris that she went over the river. 8-}

  122. Hillary Duff? Whoa. That’s kinda cool. You found something really good by looking up somebody really bad.

    I can’t stand Hillary Duff. If they make a Scott-book movie, she had better not be in it.

    Especially if she’s Jen. Hah. Just imagine her with dyed-black hair and a buzz cut.

  124. ok….you guys are talkin about Hillary Duff on a Scott site. Well at least every1 agrees she is a horrible singer!!! and if she starred in a Westerfeld movie it would be a disgrace and i wuld kill her.j/k

  125. Haha, Scott. Veeery funny, that joke you played. xD I’m just lucky I didn’t check the blog on that day, so I heard about the joke on this actual cover, really.

    I’m going to miss Tally as a narrator (Don’t even get me started on Zane, because I’m twitching in anticipation, wondering if my dearest Zane-la is coming back), but maybe it was about time for a change. With your writing, Aya should be every bit as captivating.

    By the way: Eyescreen? Totally icy-making, Scott.

  126. Thats so awsome. I love the cover for extras….and you probably heard that more than once!LOL. Anyway, so it is a series eh? thats what it said on the cover of extras.

    I just have one question; are Tally and David in extras?

  127. lol the cover is amazing!!!!!!!!!
    damn it when am i gona see the british cover?!?!
    its lyk wen i saw the difference between the british n american covers for specials n felt rather let down by the british 1!!
    o well i suppose its the story that counts
    –>but i still think that this cover is awesome!

  130. I love this cover, much much MUCH better! I’m so excited for Extras to come out! It’s gonna be so good!

  131. Wat is ‘Extras’ about? I love Specials. I can’t believe Zane-la dies,they shud hav sooo got togever

  132. hey scott love the cover but i think the tag line sucks u could do a lot better and i also know what u mean about wanting to hurterl the book across the room at the wall!! The first time i saw uglies was at my school book fair and i didnt read it for like 6 mounths then i read it and at first i thougth it was about these little people that were small enough to live in the grass and they were really addvanced in tecnolagey and all it was not until i read about to the II part that i relized they were normal and in the futuer!! Lol well the first day i read specials i was about in the 40th page and i was about to be picked up at school then i got pissed at tally and asked my simi-friend if i could chunk the book at her basket ball and she was like noooooo!!! and i was like but u dont understand i need to punish this book it is teaseing me!! waaaa waaaaa!!! (with out the crying) just kinda say waaaa waaaa! she finaly gave in and let me chunk it at her basket ball it gave me such releafe!!!! i cant wait till october it would be so cool if it came out on my birthday that would be awesome!!!!!!!

  133. i love david i wish all guys were so sweet !!!!!! if i could have a boyfriend like him i would love it and never let him go i never really like zane so thanks for killing hime scott and also every one knows that tally and david were ment for each other zane was just kinda a lession thing!! ya a lession thing thats it she only liked him at first when she was a bubblehead then when she thought her was out he had just grown on her !!

  136. There were too many Shelby’s and Shelby-wa’s on here, so I combined my first and middle name. Betchya can’t guess what it is!

    Well, anyway, with this whole Extras thing: I’m very confused. Are there going to be more books after extras to continue what happens in this book? And what can possibly happen in this book? How can there be a more rebelious teenager? What can this new girl DO? I suppose we’ll just have to read it. It’s going to bother me for weeks, though. Being a struggling writer* , I am completely fascinated by authors who can think of insane places and keep a story going for so long and still have more to tell. My characters cry a lot. That’s pretty much it. =(

    *I’m not really sure how you’d refer to someone like me.. Mentally incapable writer, perhaps?

  137. =]
    i cant wait for this to come out!
    but….i am confused. so this isnt about tally at all? if not, isnt doesnt that kind of suck though?
    ugh i really want it to be about tally tho! if not i still cant wait for it to come out.

  138. its a “companion novel” it fits in with the time and stuff going on in uglies/pretties/specials but it has all new characters. just like peeps and the last days. lace and cal make a small appearence near the end but they arent that big of characters in it. thats probably whats going to happen in extras… if tally and david show up at all in it.

  139. Totally happy-making!
    I can’t belive that there will be another Tally-wa story!
    This is totally icy/bubbly!
    Ohh yeah, what about Zane?
    And is it going to be a companion novel, like some people say it will be?

  140. OMGGGG. I AM STILL READING SPECIALS AND I AM ALMOST FINISHED SO I DIDNT READ ANY OF THE COMMENTS ABOVE BUT SERIOUSLY WHEN I SAW THAT IT SAID THAT IT WAS “THE FINAL VOLUME IN THE HIGHLY ACCLAIMED UGLIES TRILOGY” I ALMOST DIEDDD!!!!!! I WANTED THERE TO BE ANOTHER BOOK SOOO BADLY AND I AM SOOO HAPPY TO SEE THAT THERE IS AN0THER ONE!!!! THIS IS SOOO HAPPY-MAKING

  141. omg! i agree. its so sad that the narrator changed. i became really close to tally-wa. zane is so coming back to life in my mind. and just somthing to throw out about shay: doesnt she seam kind of bi-polar? not saying i dont love her but still

  142. btw hally-wa, i agree. i probalbly wuldof passed out wen i read it was the last book, but i was so excited t read it that i didnt

  143. I am a fairly new reader to Scott’s books and I got totally hooked this Christmas after recieving Uglies for a present. I read it immediatly and then I had to go buy the 2nd and the 3rd. I was soooooo into this series and it really sucked to think Specials was the end. I am sooooooo happy that it wasn’t. PLEASE keep the series coming. I LOVE IT! I am about 1/2 way through with Peeps and loving that also but the Uglies series is still my favorite!

  144. well, i dont really know what to think. i got super close to tally and david and everybody. i just dont like the thought of a new protagonist. its totally exited-making that theres going to be a new book, though. im definatly going to be reading this one.

  145. if this is a “companion book” i bet you that tally and david will show up sooner or later but they wont be main characters. Since it says in the manifesto that tally and david will try to stop anything that gets out of hand, i think that maybe tally and david will be trying to stop the new main character in this book. well i dont know. its just a guess, im probably wrong.

  146. I love this cover it goes with the theme of the series.

    When I heard that the extras was coming out I got so excited.

    To tell you the truth the specials ending wasn’t what I expected I thought that everything was gonna get better and Tally and David were gonna fall more in love.

    But that’s what a good writer does, they fool you and then come out with something even better!

    I’m gonna be first in line at Barnes & Nobles to buy that book!

    You are awesome Scott!

    I hope there is a 5th book and more of the Midnighters Series because those were great :)!

  147. ARG! U SPOILERS! MY FRIEND READ UGLIES AND SHE SAW THE COMMENT WHERE YOU-KNOW-WHO..HATE TO SAY HIS NAME! MAKES ME SOOO SAD *SNIFF*! simply cannot wait! hated the other cover earlier..but it would be pretty sweet to have something like that..i’m getting into creepy stuff! lolol. but seriously Scott-la! cannot wait! *hugs self and friend and does happy dance and bounces around room while squeeling for joy!* yayayayay!

  148. Tori: it would be Tori-wa..cuz you have two syllabols in your name..i think thats how its done…

  149. ok..Jamie..sorry but..hun..Zane’s not comin’ back..he’s GONE! sooorry..i know..i became REALLY attached to all the characters and i was finishing Specials at 1:10 in the morn’ and when i found out Zane-la died..yeah…i threw my book acroos the room. i was soo fricken mad/sad cuz i got so attached to him. I think we just have to accept the fact that he’s you know…dead..and get on with life..cuz when Sam has to kill Sprout in Lireal..i read this part last night..that was soo sad..dumb Mogget! arg he made me soo mad..Mogget did

  151. omg i cant wait he should come out with like 10 books he is an ausome author i love his stories. i wonder if zane will be in this one or shay i havent read specials so im not sure.

  152. hey scott i think you are a great author you should come out with lots of other books involving tally-wa. your books are so ausome your books are the only ones that actually make me want to read them .

  153. ausome…good word. lol. but there are other books out there besides Scotts that are just as good

  154. wow a fourth in the trillogy dosn’t make much sence to me but any way looks great i wonder what the UK cover will look like. The others involve barbies and a bloody knife. It took me about 2/3 mounths to get prittys from the libary and 1 day to read it. specials however took me about 3/4 hours to read. Any how love the idea of extras

  156. YAY!!!YAY!!!!!YAY!!!!!! i wish i could make my font bigger. YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!! and 1,000,000,000 times YAY!!!!!! but i dunno scott, this books got pretty high expectations from the comments i ve read. if i were you i would be nervous out of my mind! but you know no pressure or anything. but seriously this better be good. btw, please dont bring zane back in zombie form. i mean i hated it when he died but zombies would just so not fit with this series. anyhoo, i CANNOT wait. YYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!

  157. I am totally and honestly and extremely excited! I’m probably goin to pre-order. And I cant help wonderin if Zane comes back. I would cry my eyes out if he did. I do hope this is about Tally, Shay, and David because the cover is a little different. But its a great cover. I cant wait to read this book. Will there be more? I love these books!!

  158. Plus, I like when u put little inserts on the front of the books. For example, on PRETTIES u put “WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PERFECTION ISNT GOOD ENOUGH?”, on the front of the book. Luv those too.

  159. OMGOMGOMGOMFREAKINGG u said it was a trilogy u had my freaks friends! er…u had my friends freaked!!!!! we were so scared cuz the ending of specials totally blew but the rest of the books ROCK i am so gonna buy this one

    btw: i finished all of ur books each in like a day (different days)!!! OMGOMG thanks

  160. Sooo cool i cant wait till this new book comes out it soo sucked when the trilogy ended! I cant wait!

  161. i cant believe that zane died!!! as i said before i cried… well i cant wait!!! but i cant pre-order and every book store in the world will not have it because everyone wants the dang book… so i will just have to wait
    🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁
    but it will be worth the wait… LOL

  162. tori not bein riude but zane liked tally even after the lesions have you read specials they dont have lesions, well tally does but zane dont and he still loved her… well in my opinion i liked zane much better

  163. Can’t wait for the final version of Extras, due to a mistake I know what happens, haha, and my title will make sense once you read Extras. *winkwink*

    Zee-sensei (whose face rank is totally above 1000)

  164. And yes – the girl on the cover is Japanese. It’s not Tally – new protagonist, hoorah! Well I’ll shut up now.

  165. i loved the new book (i got the unedited manuscript) i wont give it away i promise.. are you going to do a follow up with the new characters? perhaps a second trilogy with aya and her friends?

  167. Brit – what is your email, we can talk about this without spoiling it for other people =D And sweet you got the unedited version too xD Mine happened during Scott’s great computer crash.

  173. mmkkay

    I love this trilogy. I personally like David better. Zane was cool but it just wasnt the same as with David. I cant wait for EXTRAS. I still wish that it would be about Tally though….

    Brit and Zee-Sensei what are you people talking about? I am confused =/

  174. Could you maybe … possibly… I dunno, print the cover that the UK version will have ‘cos they are comletely different from what you showed on your blog.
    I’m luvvin’ the whole trilogy and am so excited about EXTRAS coming out!

  175. Like, our covers are for uglies, some doll body parts inside a trashcan, for pretties, a doll with a tapemeasure around it’s waist, and for specials, a bandaid thing that you put around stitches when you’ve cut yourself.

  177. Brit and Zee-sensei, how did yall get the mauscripsts? that is so cool! i really cant wait to read extras. im a little sad that tally is gone though. do you guys think it makes the story any less exciting with aya as the new main character?

  179. I’m in an extremely bubbly moody for Extras to come out, but I have one question:
    Why the fourth book? I mean, wasn’t Specials supposed to be the end? The cover did say that it was that final book. Just a little confused, here. 🙂

  180. I am so freaken excited. I have extras, harry potter, the clique, hermux tantamoq, and more to get and read.

  181. ok little confused here cauz Specials said last book in Trilogy and out of the blue comes Extras and why will Extras not be about Tally???????

  183. I love this cover! but i still cant believe that Zane died! when i was reading that chapter, i cried. i liked Zane better than David, or maybe i thought i liked Zane better becauseof the “headaches” in Pritties. either way, Zane shouldnt of died.

  184. Glares at Amy-la.

    I seriously agree but my friends and i have this thing in which we each have a book crush (or 20) Any wayz- Zane is my boy friend!

  185. i think that extras should be in diego should still be the main character and it should be a whole new cycle with the smokies/cutters being fighting againts special circumstances which is now trying to keep not just 1 city but the whole world under control

  188. okay I LUV THESE BOOKS. and when i soon publish my book i hope its at least HALF as good as this book!!!!! =) BUT i was saddened by the fact that Zane died without knowing that Tally Still loved him. and could get over his shakiness. i thought that the end had ALOT Of things i didnt really agree with, except that cause of zane’s death she stayed out in th wild with david to make sure the wild was safe…… ( sorry this is long ) BUT once again i wish that Extra’s was in Tally’s point of view and not this new girl, cuz tally was freakin awesome!!!!!!!!!!

  189. AND i thought that tally went through a rouge time all through her life, so i think that we should have gotten a book from Tally’s point of view…. but i am already convinced this book will be VERY icey and awesome!

  190. Omg i can’t wait. Although i was also sadend that Zane died :[[ Tally should have a least have been able to say goodbye or something. Or maybe an alternative ending?? That would be ICY. Like them living happliy ever after… until Special circumstances come or something else Bum Bum BUM!! Well still can’t wait till then we will meet again Pretty town or Diego?? Well Bye

  191. Omg i can’t wait. Although i was also saddened that Zane died :[[ Tally should have a least have been able to say goodbye or something. Or maybe an alternative ending?? That would be ICY. Like them living happily ever after… until Special circumstances come or something else Bum Bum BUM!! Well still can’t wait till then we will meet again Pretty town or Diego?? Well Bye

  192. YES YES YES YES this is going to be fun-making…..i cant wait a secongd for this book to come out YES its not all over its contiuea YAYAYYAYYA!!!

  193. OMFG IM SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!! his books r the ones that actually got me reading instead of faking. im soooooo excited about the movie and now ANOTHER BOOK!!
    how about midnighters tho…

  194. his books rock.i didn’t stop reading pretties for a day.i finish the book in 2 days cause i wanted to find out what had happen to david and tally.i even went to buy the whole series for 25 dollars because the book was checked out in all the libraries.
