Westerfeld, Scott. Specials. New York City: Scholastics Inc., 2006. 372 pages. (Sci-Fi Series)

Tally has taken on yet another form of human beings, but this time against her will. She is now a special… her senses amplified and given great speed and strength. But everything about her has changed. She once almost became a Smokie and now her goal is to find the New Smokies and turn them over to the city to be turned into bubbleheads. She also has to deal with her old true love from back when she was a pretty, who now disgusts her. When trying to make things right, can Tally yet again make a wrong turn and end up killing others, some who matter more than others?

This is a thrilling book that captures your attention and whisks you away into the future. It is action packed and you’ll find it hard to tear your eyes away from the pages. It is utterly disappointing when the pages start to run out.
