YA
Aya is an "extra" with a face-recognition rank stuck in the mid-400,000s. If she can win fame as a "kicker," reporting on a story that captures the city's imagination, her rank will soar. Things get complicated when Aya and her friends are kidnapped; that's when Tally Youngblood (Uglies; Pretties; Specials) steps in. High-speed chases and cutting-edge wizardry keep the action popping.
