Imposters, written by Scott Westerfeld, reviewed by Amanda Davies

Summary: Impostors takes place in the world of Westerfeld's famous series Uglies. Many years after Tally Youngblood has helped destroy the world of Pretties, a new heroine, Frey and her famous twin sister Rafi, are navigating the dangers of absolute power and international intrigue. No one knows that Frey exists; her sole purpose is to serve as Rafi's body double and protect her. But when their father sends Frey into a dangerous situation outside their country, she starts to realize just how corrupt her father is. The book follows Frey as she tries to avoid capture while continuing to protect her sister and save communities that her father is determined to destroy.

Straight Talk for Librarians: Students (and adults) who long for an expansion of the world that Westerfeld created for Uglies will be relieved to find that Westerfeld has written this book, the first in a total of four books he plans to write for this series. The second book in the series, Shatter City, came out in September 2019 and there are two more books planned. The nearly non-stop action and military-style fighting that happens throughout the book will appeal to those looking for adventure and intensity, although there's nothing so gory or explicit that middle-schoolers couldn't read it. Readers who want mystery and intrigue will also find plenty here. Students can expect to be kept guessing even after they finish the last page.
