So Yesterday -- Scott Westerfeld

Ever wonder who was the first kid to keep a wallet on a big chunky chain, or wear way-too-big pants on purpose? What about the mythical first guy who wore his baseball cap backwards? These are the Innovators, the people on the very cusp of cool. Seventeen-year-old Hunter Braque's job is finding them for the retail market.<p>But when a big-money client disappears, Hunter must use all his cool-hunting talents to find her. Along the way he's drawn into a web of brand-name intrigue-a missing cargo of the coolest shoes he's ever seen, ads for products that don't exist, and a shadowy group dedicated to the downfall of consumerism as we know it.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Scott Westerfeld<br><b>Publisher:</b> Penguin Young Readers Group<br><b>Published:</b> 09/08/2005<br><b>Pages:</b> 256<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.53lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.24h x 5.62w x 0.64d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781595140326<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 5.3<br><b>Point Value:</b> 9<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>80126 / So Yesterday<br><br><b>Award:</b> Evergreen Young Adult Book Award - Nominee<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Publishers Weekly</i> 09/05/2005 pg. 65<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Scott Westerfeld lives in New York, New York and Sydney, Australia.</p>
