Hey, sorry for not blogging for a while there. There was travel, research, and lots of writing (on Behemoth) to do.
But now I am back in the blog-saddle, so it’s time for some fan art!
First, for you Midnighters fans, I present the Midnighters Fingerpuppet Five!
What’s cool is that you can tell who’s who. I could have totally used these while writing the book for, like, acting out scenes.
These were made by Chloe Wiccith, who also created this awesome mindcaster symbol pumpkin:
That’s some mighty fine carving.
And for you Uglies fans, check out this remix of Extras with a self portrait by Zheng Xiao, doing his best emo-manga-head impersonation.
Any more fan art out there that needs to see the light of day? Sent it over.
Those finger puppets are totally awesome! I can so imagine a finger puppet show of midnighters. =D
Awww I haven’t read midnighters yet not enough Monet to buy it and I owe a hugggeeeeee fine at the library:( But I wanna read it so BADDLY anyways I’m do glad you blogged again scott cause I have no life so I depend on the blog and a few other sites. :p
PING AT EVERYONE:
you guys have any good Levathian quotes? I needed some for school project but forgot and my teacher forgot to collect all of them before school ended. So anyone wanna help me out? Please and tank youuuuu.
Lol Im listening to GREEN DAY 21gunsss:D
That fan art is amazing.
Beli-wa: How about the quote from Alek’s dad: “The dangers of life are infinite, and among them is safety.”
looovvveee the midnighter puppetts
and the extras cover is totally awsome.
and Beli-Wa: you should deffinitily find a way to read midnighters. its totally awsome. what i do when i have a big fine at the library is use my dad or brother’s card. or ask a friend to use there card. haha i know…very BA =P
but READ IT. its awesome =]
Wow I havnt read Midnighters in a loooonnnnggggg time!!! It was such a great seris though!!!
Ha ha those finger puppets are so bubbly!
I liked the Extras cover too! š
The finger puppets are so cute! I am slowly working my way through Leviathan (reading The Great Gatsby for school is my first priority).
OMG luv the finger puppets! and the Extras pic? niice. thats sick(in a good way. in my world there are 3 ways 2 say sick: “hey man, that new jacket iz sooo sick!”:) “hey, that’s just sick and wrong!”:( and “mom, i’m siiiiiiiiick…”)
ooo, Scott-la, that’s a great quote.
It seems so easy to find quotes within the Uglies trilogy, but I did have an awful time finding quotes within Leviathan.
Any other good ones, or favourites of yours?
Scott,
I was wondering how to work in writing, I have seven-day school weeks and I work… how can I fit it in? I am currently writing a book for Young Adults and I would love to hear an input… thanks sooo much for being a role model to me!
Lauren
PING TO THE ALL IMPORTANT SCOTT_LA: Where do we send you the fan art?
PIng to Beli-wa: Barking Spiders! But I’m not sure if that would be good for what ur working on. What ARE you working on? Oh yeah and when Count Volger says: “Take heart in this impoliteness Alec, it (“it” may be “this”) proves that you are still a threat to the throne.”
Ping to everybodies: I feel so terrible. I never got past the 1st Midnighters. I got so involved in other things I just never finished. š
I feel so unloyal
Anyway, I’ll see you guys later. Off to play sum tennis! š
Thank you so much Scott-la for putting my picture up!
awesome…i love the extras cover;D
Thanks for putting my fanart up! š
Oh, and the extras cover is amazing. š
….I wish I were artistic.
Seriously, that’s why fan fiction is so good for me, because something I really wish I could do is to be able to draw my favorite characters. But that fan art is awesome everyone, keep up the good work!
Ping at Kailey-wa:
I totally and utterly agree I love drawing and couldn’t live without it nut I’m crap at it:(
Yay! Scott-la commented back on my post:) yayyyyy:D.
Ping at gabfra:
you see I’m the only one in my family that enjoys reading, therefore I am the only one in my family that actually HAS a library card! Which totally sucks cause well, you get it
ping atthe OTHER tally youngblood:
it’s a book talk:p. I have to stand up in front of the class for ten minutes talking about the book and answering questions about it like give three quotes:p.
Oh ya almost (sadly) forgot!
Ping at Scott-la:
TANK YOUUU!!!
I’m going to use that quote:)
I love the Midnighters. It is my favorite series, and I’m a librarian who reads anything and everything she can get her hands on. The finger puppets were really cute. I so wish that this series would keep going b/c I don’t really love the way it ended, but anyways I just wanted to say cute puppets to the artist.
LOVE that quotation. Perfect smackdown for the brain weasel that tries to convince me returning to a deadening corporate job is “smart.”
Ping to iamsam28:
Thank you very much. š
haha. I feel like I’m the only one here who liked the cliff-hanger-y ending of midnighters.
Ping to Beli-wa: Ugh. I feel ur pain, standi ng up in front of the class sucks. Unless, if you’re like me, when ur acting. Then again, maybe you could act like you like it then you’ll be acting unless ur a clartish actor which then, it will do you no good… sorry I have a periodic history of rambling (if that’s the correct term for it.) š
Ping to Chloe-wa: Woah! You drew those? Awesome! I sure wish I was talented in the art of manga-cartoon-whatevergenrethemidpuppetsaresupposedtobe! š
Ping to z-wa: Wow! That picture is totally epic! I wish I was good with photoshop too! š
Bye you guys! I’m off to finish writing X-mas thank you notes! š
Woah. I do way to many smiley faces some times… wait…

lol a midnighters puppet show would be awesome
we should sent a copy of midnighters to the people who made
“potter puppet pals” (those videos are great)
There is all sorts of fanart on Deviantart. Plus someone made a fan group for Leviathan! š http://leviathaneers.deviantart.com/ You totally need to get a Deviantart account Scott-la. Keith has one :D! lol I need to make some totally bubbly fanart. I’ve made some for Leviathan but its horrible :'(
Ping at the OTHER Tally youngblood:
OMG IT TOOK ME SO LONG FOR ME TO MAKE SENSE OUTTA THAT.
Anyways Im a total clart-face when it comes to acting…
Which is why I gave up on my dream to be an actress years ago:p
and those smiley faces were mind bending. Very LOL worthy:)
Omg and (again) I almost forgot to say:
those finger pupets are EPIKKNESS!!!!
And the Extras cover is so FAWESOME that I actually would have perfered it to the actual cover but hey, not my choice
(oh and no offence Scott-la)
I’m sorry I just have this huge gruge against Aya! I don’t like her at ALL she’s such a loser! An extra! But I guess that the point huh.
OMG THT WAS WAAAAAYYYYYYY TOO MANY SMILES!!!!!!!!!!!
ping to Beli-wa: I DO like smileys. I can’t believe I’m typing/saying this, but I HATED Tally in Extras. She was such a bubble faced meanie!! (Wow, I sound like a little kid trying to offend a high schooler because they took her barbie doll or something…) Anyway, I believe she could have shown a BIT (more like a gigabyte. Whichever one is smaller.) more sympathy to Aya. I don’t know what happened to Tally, she was probably staking out in the forest, hiding from her unwanted fame and suklking, voowing to get revenge on whoever shehad a grudge against at the moment. Wow. That was a run on sentence. And kinda sorta not at all what I meant… Oh yeH good luck on ur report. I suppose we can’t all be like me and be gifted in the arts! Just kidding. I’m not half as good as I say I am.. Bye then! š
Ping to Jessica-wa: What can I say? Smileys are a way of life. (Unless ur an emo) here’s a proven mathmatecal method:
š = way of life
G2G!
Ping at the OTHER tally youngblood:
LOL u actually reallu liked Tally in extras!
She was the most interesting person in the book!
Like serious
aya was all like: OMG I totally, like, WANT to be FAMOUS!!!! : D
Friz was all like: AYA you so… INTERESTING!!!! : D
Hiro was all like: aya your so stupid! : / and I’m famous!!!! : D
Rez was just THERE.
And the sly girls! You don’t even know what they really think of aya till the end!!!!
Not my typical book but what everrrr…
Tally made it so much mote interesting!!!!
Oh ya and the people frond the actual Uglies series weren’t even there half if the time…. But ohwell I enjoy Scott-la’s books always!!!!

zomj i want some midnighters finger puppets…especially Dess!
when are the auditions for the uglies movie? Because I want to try out for the part as tally to be in the movie. please respond!
Those finger puppets are so cool, and that Book cover is also cool… Makes me wanna go out and buy me some of those puppets =)
Omg I JUST realized it’s new Years eve!!!!
I’m am SO stupid….
Well it’s exactly 11:00 over here in Canada, Mississauga
HOLLAA!!!!
And happy new years eve everyone š
WOOT
(one more year closer to the end of the world : D )
Ping to Beli-wa:
I didn’t like Tally in Extras… she didn’t seem like the same person she was in Specials… but probably that was because she was older in Extras and the book didn’t follow her as much. But yeah, I didn’t like Aya until the end of the book.
Was anyone else seriously bothered that Dr. Cable never appeared in Extras? (I really wanted to know what happened to her!)
I bet someday Dr. Cable is going to get into some other kind of trouble… I thought she wouldn’t be able to stand not being a Special anymore, since she was one for so long. Don’t you think it would get a little depressing not having all these super-things that you used to have?
Hey, that could be the plot of the 5th Uglies book! Scott-la?
Happy new years! I remember reading the midnighters series. it was amazing. i need to find it again. Ive always wanted to try fan art but i dont think it’s ever turned out well. ah well, those fan art picture however are completely amazing. i rly like the extras cover. haha anywho…. uh… yea.
Happy new year!
Ping at team yoshi banana:
I never realIzed that before….
But hey at the end of specials dr. Cable’s story has an ending!(and an epikk one at that) but yeah it would get depressing…
Maybe a bit too depressing..?
But It would totally be great for a fifth book : P
actually Id be awesomerr if Scott-la re-wrote the whole series in Shay-la’s point of view!!!!!!!THAT’D BE THE EPIKKEST THING EVERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
: D
cloe is lookin awesome! š love itttttt
OMFGGzzzzzzzzzzzz
ok So.
GUESS WHAT EVERYONE?!?!?!
Nahhh sok I’ll tell you guys:
so I last year I ordered a subsciption the ” the magazine” by the end of this year, I honestly got tired of it ( horrible magazine) but I didn’t cancel my subsricption cause that would be a waste of money…
ANYWAYS
i don’t know why but they sent me the January-febuary edition and it CALLED to me… Inno.
But as I’m fliping through guess what book I see in the book section..?
That’s right
……..
LEVIATHAN!!!!!!!
Wooooooooooo!!!
I am sososososoooo happy!!!!
Ok well if anyone subscribed, check it out
or hey, even if you see it at the stores or something….
LOL I’m posting two times in a row, but hey there was a huge time difference.
Ping to Beli-wa,
It would be icy to see Uglies rewritten from Shay’s point of view, but I don’t think it would really work out. It wouldn’t be an exciting book to read, because you’d already know what would happen. And it probably wouldn’t be that fun for Scott to write, because all the character’s conversations would have to be the same!
But yeah, I’d love to read that!
Maybe it could be just part of the series, from Shay’s point of view. Sort of like Stephenie Meyer writing Midnight Sun. But it would probably mostly be about Shay feeling like Tally is so awful and a bogus friend for choosing Zane/David over her, and I’m not sure all the people who like Zane/David/Tally better than Shay would like that.
I don’t know whether I am just being IRRITATING, but has anyone noticed little GLITCHES in scott’s writing, things that just DON”T fit?
I don’t know if this is just all in my head but in Uglies I noticed how Tally says that she is taller than Pretty standard:
“She was taller than pretty standard, she knew; the jacket probably wasn’t expecting so much weight” (23).
Then, in Pretties, Tally meets David again and they both ride two to one hoverboard, and Tally has to ride in back because she is taller than him:
“They rode his board. Tally was taller than David now, so she stood behind him, hands around his waist” (325).
Does ANYONE have ANY answers to why this might be? Dis Special Circumstances just to make her abnormal-Pretty tall? Am I crazzzzzzzzy?
Neat š
Interesting how Jonathan’s a little separated on the thumb there…
@ Me and My Spagbol– I don’t really get your question… Sorry, but I don’t see how those two things are inconsistent. Maybe if you re-frased I could try to help?
Another thing to take notice at that is really cool, though, is the little differences you can see in the surge of teens that are probably destined for Special Circumstances, like how Tally describes Zane when she first meets him– that his features were teetering on the verge of Pretty Committee limits, how his beauty could just almost be a cruel beauty– if you think about it, how he could so easily be switched over to a Special. That made me a little sad when I re-read that part…
Ooops– typo– wrote too fast. That should be re-phrased…
@me and my spagbol – when tally was an ugly, she was naturally taller than the average pretty. when she was a pretty, she was still taller than david. he’s prolly just a short guy š
ping to Elizabeth-la,
That makes sense, but if Tally was taller than David when she was an ugly, why would it say, “taller than David now?” instead of just, “taller than David?”
@ Elizabeth-la,
Ya that’s what I thought at first, but then in Uglies Tally rode in front of David:
“Riding double was something Tally had never done before, and she found herself glad she was with David and not just anyone. She stood in front of him, bodies touching, her arms out, his hands around her waist” (326).
So why would Tally ride in font of Davis if she was taller than him in Uglies?
I don’t know… maybe someone could look up the page numbers to see is I’m missing something š !!!!!
@ Sarah Ayelet,
I never had realized that the reason Zane almost looked cruel as a Pretty was because he was destined to be Special. It makes a lot of sense and it is really cool that you had noticed that, and it also makes me sad… š
To rephrase my comment I guess I could say that I am confused about how Tally was said to be taller than an average Pretty as an ugly and rode in the front of David on a hoverboard, but then when Tally became Pretty, she was said to be taller than David NOW, and rode in the back of David.
So I am confused about why Tally would be said to be taller as Pretty than as an Ugly, when she was taller than an average Pretty as an Ugly…gosh that’s a tongue twister…
So anyways, I could rephrase my questions as thus: Wouldn’t the Pretty Committee make Tally shorter during the operation, to make Tally average Pretty height? And so why is Tally said to be taller after the operation? Wouldn’t she be shorter?
PLEASE HELP! š
omg actually the cover for the extras (forgot the dudes name already:P) is kinda cool wicked eye grapic skills
oh by the way wheres lizzy-wa?
sorry for the double post:/
@ Me and My Spagbol– I haven’t looked into this, but you’re saying that Tally was taller than David in both cases and rode on opposite sides, but for the same reasoning? Then, I don’t know…
But… about Tally being tall for a Pretty, I was trying to see if it could relate somehow to the situation that I gave an example for with Zane. I mean, since she was a bit tall, and she was definitely Special Circumstances material, maybe they were saving the trait, like they had Zane all ready to go…?
OOOHHHHHHH!!!
@ Me and My Spagbol, Elizabeth-la, and Team Toshi Banana
Soooo… how’s this?
Tally was shorter than David as an Ugly, so she stood in front of him. Then, she may have grown some, like most people do and / or she was made taller in the operation, which may possibly (and also may possibly not) have to do with for-stated reasoning. Then, as a Pretty, she was taller, and stood in back.
How does that sound?
Sorry for the OCDness, but again, typo, grrr… FORE-stated (15th century usage)
The only book i haven’t read yet is mind-rain so that’s a must on my list of books to read
This series is my fav. Awesomeness!
WRITE A SEQUEL!! please. š
Ping at team yoshi banana:
just read mind-rain…..
The essay by robin wasserman was mind bending!!!!
It was about how tally sucks and Shay rocks : D
ping to sarah ayelet:
WHOA
I never noticed that before!!!!
Gosh I think that was just a mistake on Scott-la’s part…..(no offence Scott)
geez I’m going to tell my friend this!!!!
I got her hooked on the series ; )
I told her to come on the blog but I think she’s shy : P
but maybe one day shell come listed as Aimee-la or Bess
or something along those lines…..
Sorry to butt into the conversation so late into it but it’s really interesting.
Frankly I think it was a mistake. According to those two original quotes, she was taller than pretty average before the operation but still shorter than David, and afterward she has now been shrunk but is taller than David. And that does NOT make sense.
I think she rode in front that first time because she didn’t really know what she was doing, and I guess it’s easier to ride in front for a beginner? But that sounds hard for David to see…..
So….inconsistency! But you find those in lots of books. š
Ping to Beli-wa,
I know, I loved the Best Friends For Never essay…
And the one about David vs. Zane… that was really creative!
I think they should publish a series of essays on Uglies written by the readers! (Not other published authors, I mean) Wouldn’t that be icy!
Tell your friend that Team Toshi Banana says to stay icy! š But yeah, I was too shy to comment here for a loooooong time, I just read the posts! Tell her to just read the blog posts, and she’ll want to comment!
@ Sarah Ayelet,
I got to be thinking about what you had said about Zane, and about how he was destined to be Special as a Pretty. I was also wondering why Tally wouldn’t be made shorter through the operation considering the fact that she was taller than an average Pretty while being ugly, and that the Pretty Committee probably wanted to make Tally the same as any other Pretty.
Those two ideas got me to be thinking that MAYBE, Tally was made even taller through the operation because she was also destined to be Special, and as we know Specials are always made to be very frighteningly tall for Dr. Cable’s own purposes. So, that could be the case, but what do you think?
Ping @ Me and My Spagbol,
That makes perfect sense!
I wonder if Scott thought about that at all, or if he just didn’t notice while he was writing.
@ Kailey-wa,
I think that inconsistency may also be the answer to my tedious questioning, I mean, you never know!
But you could also take a look at the last comment I sent to Sarah Ayelet, I would like to see what you think š
Also, even though any of these answers could be possibly right, I think that the only way we all would ever know the “right” answer would have to come from Scott.
Though I highly doubt Scott would ever start writing down replies!!! š
@ Team Toshi Banana,
I’m wondering the same exact thing!!!
Though right now I feel like I just gave Scott a really witty cover story if he ever was actually just being inconsistent while writing the books!
Sometimes I feel like I just read to far into the stories, but maybe Scott had intended for all of his readers to “read between the lines.”
But whether Scott had intended it or not, he is still a genius writer!!!
@ Sarah Ayelet,
Sorry, I just read back your last post and I realized that you had come up with the same idea!
So maybe it is the explanation we have all been looking for!!!
…and then again, maybe not… š
aww, jonathan looks so isolated from the four other fingers! and melissa actually kinda looks cool, in a emo-goth way! dessie’s amazing and jessica looks like the happy person she is š great job on them and the pumpkin, chloe!
Wow. Well, I guess it WOULD make you inconsistent by just a spiff if you stayed up till (insert a time that you would NOT want to stay up till) writin g about a alternate future. (But right now, if you watch the news, things aren’t looking too cheery @ the moment. Like the terrorist that put explosives IN HIS PANTS! I laughed so flippin hard at that. I don’t think he’ll ever be able to use the restroom ever again!!!) *shudders at mental picture*
Anyway, G2G!
I’m not tryinh to get all relegious or anything, but I have to go through something at the doctor tomorrow and if you guys could pray for me that would be great! (No offence to any non-believers in God or anything)
Okay, G@G! š
Ping to the OTHER tally young blood:
Ima make a special prayer for you!!
: D
ping at team yoshi banana:
yay! It was my favourite essay of all time(ALL TIME!!)
lol kanye west moment : )
ok anyways, you are so smart!!!
I would have never thought of fan made essays! I would actually work to make one!
And I’ll be sure to tell my friend that š
she just finished Specials over the holidays abd I’m so glad she shared my pain about Zane-la!!
Awww I miss him: (
Team Zane!!!!!!!!
Oh and now I’m thinking maybe Scott did do the height thing on purpose
I mean it’s not like all pretties were the exact same
like it’s an AVERAGE pretty afterall, not all of them just the average of them
: P
Lol, it seems you guys managed to understand some of my rambling… congrats! Sometimes I even have a hard time with that, lol.
Well, anyway, I think many times writers put in nice little innuendos in their writing and sometimes the readers find unintentional innuendos in the writing, and to me, I think both are basically just as legit as each other. Every piece of written work means something else to each person, but once people share their ideas, like we do here on the blog, everyone’s horizons get expanded, even just a little bit, and even might I dare add, for the writer him/her self. In fact, for a really nice example, look at the blog analyzing Scott’s Halloween short story. That was mind bending. (In fact, I now am no longer sure where I stand on that and think I may possibly have totally switched sides on the gender thing, lol)
If anyone is interested in this idea, you should read the story “A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings,” written by Marquez, who supposedly wrote the story after being fed up with the critics just to stump them, because they were assuming they could dissect and define his works.
@Me and My SpagBol
I think either way works! And….we should ask him on the boards on the ninth! š
scott-la out of curiosity why did you choose your cover for EXTRAS to be aya-chan? i love the cover but i couldnt help but to think why didnt you put an extra on the cover? although if you think about it aya-chan was an extra in the means of being not important until Hiro became important and Frizz was seen with her. i just want to know your take on this.
ps. anyone ive got a seriously hard bookreport to do and ineed help with some awesome quotes descibing the characters of Hunter and Jen in So Yesterday. if youve got any be sure to hit me up on the forums (just message me please).
@ Kailey-wa,
That’s a great idea! Too bad I won’t be able to go on the boards on the 9th though…
Could I count on one of you guys to ask for me anyways?
Goodness Gracious! I don’t know why I really should care how tall Tally was as an Ugly and Pretty, but it is just like a little thought gnawing at my mind that I cannot get rid of until I find the true answer, only if there is one, of course…
@ Sarah Ayelet,
Wow, well said, well said…I couldn’t have put it any better.
Also, I’ll look into the book that you recommended, it sounds really interesting!
WOOHOO! I’m okay after my surgery! Just feel a little tipsy. And kind of of like a new pretty because now my teeth will be on their way to almost straightness! At least I can type in coherent sentences. Oh, and I feel like a new pretty because I got to go to one of those stalls at the mall where they use strings to shape up your eyebrows! It was very odd, but now my browz look great! I guess that’s all I gots 2 say. Oh and thanks 4 the prayer Beli-wa! š
Awwww anytime the OTHER tally youngblood!!
Lol so your teeth are nice now then?
I’m totally jealous my parent don’t really want to get me braces cause they would love if I was a total plain Jane (like in extras)
but Ive convinced them:)
lol I dunno if I could ever get my eyebrows done :s
I’ll miss their norm. Shape
yesh I am a nerd….
@ Me and My Spagbol:
Why thank you š
It is an interesting story; I had to read it for school once. But, if you’re anything like me, your reaction at the end might be something like: “… Ummm… What?”
But, I guess that WAS the point, lol.
@ Sarah Ayelet,
Haha, I’ll count on it! š
@ the OTHER Tally Youngblood
That eyebrow thing looks like it hurts! š
that extras cover was totally bubbly-making!
Ping 2 Beli-wa:They aren’t quite straight yet. I still need them for a year or so. Ha I’ma nerd as well. A band nerd. I’m no good @ computers and average @ video games. (Mario is my fave) Even my school friends got that quote from Sonny w/ a chance (though I really wish they would call the show So Random because no one knows what ur talking about if u refer to it as Sonny) about “Loser Force Four” I should so add that as a Facebook group or something! That would be so highlarious! Bye now! š
Ping to Kailey-wa: Oh the lady manning (manning as in being in charge and not looking like a man. u know what I mean) said it hurt the most the 1st time. And she had decent enough looking eyebrows so I could trust her to get the job done right. She did but I wouldn’t recommend doing it unless you look like…*thinks of something that has bad eyebrows* a caveman. All in all, I just might do it again. š
PEACE š
Ping at the OTHER Tally youngblood:
well still your lucky

Yo, Scott. Leviathan was amazing. The whole Darwinist/ Clanker contravercy was ingenious!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait to see what the next book’ll be like.
By the way, I’m a total beast lover the machines are seriously cool but, hey, ya cant blame someone for like’n the lupines and elephantines over a walker!
ping @ beatstie luva
i totally agree! leviathan is awesome!!!!
such a cool pic………….wish i had thought of it!!! ;-D
Why didn’t Scott Westerfeild use Tally Youngblood again in Extras? I started reading Uglies then I loved it so much I read Pretties and Specials and now i’m starting Extras. I loved Uglies and Pretties and Specials but so far I just like Extras i’m not a big fan of Aya.
Ok the fan art is nice and all but scott really i thought i read all your books, well i was wrong. YOU are my FAVORITE author stephanie meyer is nice: but she can go crawl in a corner as far as your concerned. Some of your books are really hard to find though, but you really need to write more books, i bet im not the only one who thinks so. Your either really disturbed or a genious, i no it’s not your thing but i would love to see what you have to offer about vampires. You are a wonderful writer and really should think about picking up your writing pace but thanks for writing period!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG……Leviathan is Amazing, but i can not ,can not, belive that Deryn did not tell Alek that she was not a he!!!!! REALLY, i cant wait for Behemoth…. Peeps that was my first book i ever read by Scott Westerfeld. And when i read at the back that most of it was real, i nearly passed out! So yea love the books wish i could find more of them but o well.
Very late reply.
I think a fifth book would be awesome. But from Tally’s point of view. Include Dr. Cable, we want to know what happened to her. What about all of the other specials? I didn’t like Aya, she was kind of a brat. Tally is so much more interesting. And we want to know about her relationship with David.
