La emocionante tercera parte de la serie Traición. LOS LIBROS EN LOS QUE SE BASA LA PELÍCULA DE NETFLIX: LOS FEOS Tally creía que solo eran un rumor, pero ahora es una de ellos... Ya hace mucho tiempo que Tally dejó de ser una imperfecta rebelde e indisciplinada. Por aquel entonces, ella aún creía que los especiales no eran más que un rumor siniestro y aterrador: de ellos se decía que eran veloces, atractivos y crueles como nadie. Irónicamente, el destino la ha llevado a convertirse en especial, y, tras someterse a la más sofisticada de las operaciones quirúrgicas, ha recibido una misión: acabar con la resistencia... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The third installment of Scott Westerfeld''s New York Times bestselling and award-winning Uglies series--a global phenomenon that started the dystopian trend. Tally thought they were a rumor, but now she''s one of them. A Special. A super-amped fighting machine, engineered to keep the uglies down and the pretties stupid. But maybe being perfectly programmed with strength and focus isn''t better than anything she''s ever known. Tally still has memories of something else. Still, it''s easy to tune that out--until she''s offered a chance to stamp out the rebels of the New Smoke permanently. It all comes down to one last choice: listen to that tiny, faint heartbeat, or carry out the mission she''s programmed to complete. Either way, Tally''s world will never be the same.

Em Extras, último volume da série best seller Feios, Scott Westerfeld revisita o mesmo universo distópico, onde todos são modificados cirurgicamente aos 16 anos para atingir a perfeição estética. Mas, dessa vez, o foco da crítica ferina do autor é a fronteira público/privado. A era da perfeição física acabou e, na sociedade pós-libertação, os cidadãos estão conectados à interface da cidade e, em seus canais individuais, compartilham informações de todo o tipo. Tecnologia, beleza, comportamento, tudo pode ser publicado. Mas o conteúdo é o que menos importa, contanto que ele garanta uma posição no top 10 do ranking da fama. Nesse novo mundo, Aya Fuse, uma Feia de 15 anos, é, ainda, uma Extra. Ou seja, neste complexo novo sistema social, ou se é conhecido ou se é apenas um figurante sem importância. Ocupando o 451.611o lugar nessa tabela, Aya está bem longe de seu próprio irmão, Hiro, que está entre os que ocupam o topo da lista de celebridades. Mas nesse universo não é necessário fazer alguma coisa relevante para ter sucesso: basta encontrar alguém que o faça e contar a todo mundo. Para Aya, a descoberta de um grupo de misteriosas meninas que se arrisca a surfar em trens magnéticos pode ser a oportunidade perfeita. Uma matéria tão boa que irá despertar o interesse de todo mundo, incluindo alguém há muito desaparecido. Extras confirma o talento de Westerfeld em criar mundos e sociedades tão absolutamente diferentes e, ao mesmo tempo, tão intrinsecamente semelhantes aos atuais. Uma paródia brilhante sobre a obsessão do mundo moderno pela fama.

Em um mundo de extrema perfeição, ser normal é feio. Neste primeiro volume da série best seller do New York Times, com novo projeto gráfico, Tally Youngblood não vê a hora de completar dezesseis anos e finalmente ganhar a cirurgia para se tornar a versão perfeita de si mesma. Mas, enquanto conta os dias para o tão esperado momento, ela descobre que os rebeldes podem estar mais perto do que imagina. Séculos depois da destruição da civilização industrial em um apocalipse ecológico, a humanidade vive em cidades-bolha cercadas pela natureza selvagem. Lá, Tally Youngblood é feia. Não, isso não significa que ela é alguma aberração da natureza. Não. Ela simplesmente ainda não completou 16 anos. Em Vila Feia, os adolescentes ficam presos em alojamentos até o aniversário de 16 anos, quando recebem um grande presente do governo: uma operação plástica como nunca vista antes na história da humanidade. Suas feições são corrigidas à perfeição, a pele é trocada por outra, sem imperfeições ou espinhas, seus ossos são substituídos por uma liga artificial, mais leve e resistente, os olhos se tornam grandes e os lábios, cheios e volumosos. Em suma, aos 16 anos todos ficam perfeitos. Tally mal pode esperar pelo seu aniversário. Depois da operação, vai finalmente deixar Vila Feia e se mudar para Nova Perfeição, onde os perfeitos vivem, bebem, pulam de paraquedas, voam a bordo de suas pranchas magnéticas, e se divertem. Uma noite, ela conhece Shay, uma feia que não está nem um pouco ansiosa para completar 16 anos. Pelo contrário: Shay pretende fugir dos limites da cidade e se juntar à Fumaça, um grupo de foras-da-lei que sobrevive retirando seu sustento da natureza. Para Tally, isso é uma maluquice. Mas, quando sua amiga desaparece, os Especiais, autoridade máxima deste novo mundo, propõem um acordo com Tally: unir-se a eles contra os enfumaçados ou ficar feia para sempre. Tally, porém, acaba se envolvendo em uma conspiração e descobrirá que, por trás de tanta perfeição, se esconde um terrível segredo. Sua escolha irá mudar o mundo para sempre.

But for over a decade, she''s kept to the shadows, allowing her myth to grow even as she receded. Now she sees that the revolution she led has not created a stable world.

As they celebrate the opening of their underground nightclub, the Zeroes, six teenagers with unique abilities, learn about the sinister power of Swarm, who uses a crowd''s rage to kill--and who loves killing Zeroes.

X-Men meets Marissa Meyer’s Renegades when New York Times bestselling author of the Uglies series Scott Westerfeld teams up with award-winning authors Margo Lanagan and Deborah Biancotti for this explosive trilogy filled with “cinematic nonstop action,” (Booklist) about six teens with unique abilities. Don’t call them heroes. But these six California teens have powers that set them apart. Take Ethan, a.k.a. Scam. He’s got a voice inside him that’ll say whatever you want to hear, whether it’s true or not. Which is handy, except when it isn’t—like when the voice starts gabbing in the middle of a bank robbery. The only people who can help are the other Zeroes, who aren’t exactly best friends these days. Enter Nate, a.k.a. Bellwether, the group’s “glorious leader.” After Scam’s SOS, he pulls the scattered Zeroes back together. But when the rescue blows up in their faces, the Zeroes find themselves propelled into whirlwind encounters with ever more dangerous criminals. At the heart of the chaos they find Kelsie, who can take a crowd in the palm of her hand and tame it or let it loose as she pleases. Filled with high-stakes action and drama, Zeroes unites three powerhouse authors for the opening installment of a thrilling new series.

Searching for the truth, Tally discovers a whole new side of the pretty world—and it isn’t very pretty. Now Tally has a choice to make: fight to forget what she knows or fight for her life.

Vi siete mai chiesti chi è stato il primo ad attaccare una grossa catena a un portafogli, o a indossare pantaloni di due taglie più grandi? O chi è stato il primo a infilarsi un cappello da baseball al contrario? Ora lo sapete. Si chiamano gli "Innovatori" e sono il vertice, la cuspide della piramide della moda. Il diciassettenne Hunter Braque è un Trendsetter, secondo livello della piramide. Il suo lavoro? Trovare quanto di più smagliante e cool c''è sul mercato. Il suo modus operandi? Osservare, ma non intervenire mai. Un giorno, tuttavia, qualcosa accade. Hunter e Jen, la ragazza di cui è pazzamente innamorato, trovano il cellulare del boss del ragazzo abbandonato in un edificio: la donna, misteriosamente, sembra svanita nel nulla. In una folle corsa contro il tempo, i protagonisti si troveranno presto catturati in una ragnatela di intrighi: ma, se la cosa potrà consolarli, sarà una ragnatela di marca

Un anno fa Cal Thompson frequentava il primo anno di college e della biologia, così come ai suoi amici, non gliene importava niente. Oggi, dopo aver trascorso una notte insieme a Morgan, una misteriosa ragazza incontrata in un bar, la biologia è diventata la sua unica via di salvezza. Perché Morgan gli ha trasmesso un parassita temibile: quello del vampirismo. Per fortuna, Cal risulta essere un portatore sano. Non si trasforma dunque in un cannibale spietato, ma si ritrova dotato di sensi acuiti, di una forza e una velocità sovrumane, e di una dote che gli sembra quasi uno scherzo del destino: una costante eccitazione sessuale. Un dramma per il ragazzo, che non può concedersi neppure un bacio se non vuole condannare chi gli sta accanto. Assoldato da un’antichissima organizzazione segreta che si occupa di tenere sotto controllo i pip, gli altri vampiri come lui “parassita-positivi”, a Cal viene affidato il compito di rintracciare le ragazze che suo malgrado ha già contagiato e di catturarle perché possano essere curate. Ma ne vuole sapere di più: deve scoprire ora chi è davvero Morgan, e qual è la reale natura della malattia che lo ha colpito. Inizia così un’indagine che lo condurrà per le vie e i sotterranei labirintici di New York: fino a quando non scoprirà di essere al centro di un’incredibile, atroce cospirazione. Dalla penna di Scott Westerfeld, lo scrittore che Stephenie Meyer, l’autrice della saga di Twilight, considera il suo maestro, una storia di vampiri come non ne avete mai lette prima.
