With Impostors, master storyteller Scott Westerfeld returns with a new series set in the world of his mega-bestselling Uglies — a world full of twist and turns, rebellion and intrigue, where any wrong step could be Frey's last

Frey and Rafi are inseparable . . . two edges of the same knife. But Frey's very existence is a secret.

Frey is Rafi's twin sister — and her body double.

Their powerful father has many enemies, and the world has grown dangerous as the old order falls apart. So while Rafi was raised to be the perfect daughter, Frey has been taught to kill. Her only purpose is to protect her sister, to sacrifice herself for Rafi if she must.

When her father sends Frey in Rafi's place as collateral in a precarious deal, she becomes the perfect impostor—as poised and charming as her sister.

But Col, the son of a rival leader, is getting close enough to spot the killer inside her.

As the deal starts to crumble, Frey must decide if she can trust him with the truth . . . and if she can risk becoming her own person.

A storming return to the Uglies universe from the always-surprising Scott Westerfeld. What's real? What's not? It's up to you to decide...

        Set in the futuristic world of Westerfeld’s Uglies books, this action-packed series starter barely pauses to take a breath. Frey and Rafi are 16-year-old twin sisters, but the people of Shreve don’t know that. Rafi is the self-possessed face of Shreve, the city their father rules with an iron fist, electronically tracking the citizens’ every move. Trained as an assassin, Frey is a secret who exists only as her sister’s body double. After Frey, posing as her sister, is sent to the rival City of Victoria to help negotiate for much-needed steel, she joins a group of rebels to take down her father and prevent all-out war. In narrator Frey, Westerfeld presents a strong, complex heroine who learns to be her own person, not just a carbon copy. Themes such as environmental conservation and individual freedom deepen the story right up to its explosive finale, which will leave readers looking forward to the next installment. Ages 12–up. Agent: Jill Grinberg, Jill Grinberg Literary Management.
