YOUNG ADULT SELECTION

So Yesterday
by Scott Westerfeld

You don't even know Hunter is there, but he's watching you. Watching to see if you're a Trendsetter, an Early Adopter, or maybe the coolest of the cool people, an Innovator. It's Hunter's job to not only know what's cool, but to keep ahead of the latest trends and tell the world exactly what these trends are. Hunter knows Jen is above trends the minute he sees her shoelaces, woven into a fan design. Jennifer is a free, original thinker, what Hunter calls an Innovator. In Hunter's world, though, original thoughts can sometimes be dangerous.

When Hunter's employer disappears, Hunter and Jen embark on a quest to save her. Their search takes them from the underground tunnels of old churches to New York's finest museums. Scott Westerfeld infuses his fast-paced mystery with satire and humor. This book will make you think twice about what's cool versus what is so last April.
