I seem to get a hold of all the intriguing books these days.... This book, again, is slightly hard to explain. But I shall try.
Every trend starts somewhere-- every way of doing something is originated from something or rather someone. Have you ever stopped to wonder who the first kid to wash their jean in acid was? Or even the kid to wear way-too-big pants on purpose? How about the first guy who wore his cap on backwards? These are all trends that spiral around the modern world like wildfire. So who started it all?
Meet the innovators. The Innovators are the ones at the top of the 'cool pyramid'. The pops in high school. Right below them on the 'cool pyramid' settles the Trendsetters. Hunter Braque, a seven teen year old, is a Trendsetter. His job? Simple: find the newest, coolest thing for the retail markets.
His MO is to observe but don't get involved. Pretty sweet, right? That's until his boss vanishes. Soon Hunter, and Jen, his crush, are caught up in a web of brand-name intrigue. That is, a missing cargo of the coolest shoes they have ever seen, and ads for products that don't even seem to exist. And in any good book, there's a shadowy group. This group is focused on the downfall of consumerism as we know it.
Author of the Uglies series as well as Peeps, Scott Westerfeld enraptures the attentions of many teens around the world, sucking them into the worlds of his characters. Although compared to the Uglies series, Peeps and So Yesterday are less popular by far, it doesn't mean that they aren't good books. I personally really enjoyed this book!
I recommend this book to any teens, especially the ones who enjoy a bit of dramatic adventure mixed in with a teensy bit of romance. It's a hilarious book with serious undertones, and I highly enjoyed it
*** I give this book a 8.4 out of 10!***
