Scott+Westerfeld

My author study is about Scott Westerfeld. The books by him that I read are Uglies, Pretties, Specials and The Midnighters. All four books are science fictionthat are meant to appeal to teens, ages 13 to 17. Uglies, Pretties and Specials are a trilogy. The Midnighters is a single book within it's own series. All four take place in the future. The trilogy has lots of adventure and technoligical gadgets. The Midnighters is a "time stands still" novel. The theme in all the books is friendship and loyalty. The characters are forced to deal with their friends. They question the need to be loyal to others and true to themselves. I do not recommend reading the whole trilogy, one after the other. It is too much repitition of the action and the characters problems. It becomes boring when you read all three at once.
