Our view
“Extras” returns to the Uglies world with a new heroine and a city where reputation is the currency, and readers split over the change. Some value the wider world-building and its commentary on fame in the age of social media; others miss Tally as the lead, find fifteen-year-old Aya immature or the new cast simple. Tally does appear, but only in the later chapters.

About the book
Extras is a young adult science fiction novel written by Scott Westerfeld. The novel was published and released by Simon & Schuster on October 2, 2007, and is a companion book to the Uglies series. However, Extras differs from its predecessors in that its protagonist is fifteen-year-old Aya Fuse, not Tally Youngblood. Tally is not the main character but still appears in the book's later chapters in a major role.
