Publisher Description

We are all around you. You don’t think about us much, because we are invisible. Well, not exactly invisible. A lot of us have hair dyed in four colors, or wear five-inch platform sneakers, or carry enough metal in our skin that it’s a hassle getting on an airplane. Quite visible, actually, come to think of it. But we don’t wear signs saying what we are. After all, if you knew what we were up to, we couldn’t work our magic. We have to observe carefully, and push and prompt you in ways you don’t notice. Like good teachers, we let you think you’ve discovered the truth on your own. And you need us. Someone has to guide you, to mold you, to make sure that today turns into yesterday on schedule. Because frankly, without us to monitor the situation, who knows what would get crammed down your throats? It’s not like you can just start making your own decisions, after all. 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 at the peak of the cool pyramid. Seventeen-year-old Hunter Braque is a Trend setter, on the second level of the pyramid. His job: find the newest, coolest thing for the retail market. His MO: observe, don’t get involved. But from the moment he meets Innovator Jen James, he can’t help getting involved in a big way. Part love story, part mystery, part stinging satire, Scott Westerfeld’s spellbinding new novel will make you question everything you’ve ever believed about how to be cool.

"This book was really cool. It was interesting to see the perspective of setting trends instead of following them, and the idea of innovators was weird to think about, because you don't normally think about who the first person to wear a hat backwards or to tie their shoes the normal way was. "

— Telicia (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “This entertaining adventure doubles as a smart critique on marketing and our consumer culture.”

    — Publishers Weekly

  • “The dialogue is snappy-and Hunter, whose anxiety underlies his need to be cool, is a charming narrator with an original take on teen life.”

    — Kirkus Reviews

    " A crazy fun story full of mystery, missing people, disguises, and plots to shift the cool pyramid. In Westerfeld style, there is a ton of facts that fit nicely into the story. I would recommend this to just about anyone who wants an interesting, fun story. "

    " This was one of Westerfeld's earlier novels and i'm afraid it shows. This book was fairly interesting but it moved rather slowly. Another problem was that some things were not clearly enough explained. Don't get me wrong though i still enjoyed it over all just not as much as some of his later books. "

    " This is definitely one of my favourite books. The concept is rather unique, and rather unexpected. I have never read a book about "cool hunters" and by reading this it got me more interested in different things, and exploring new interests. It really is a great, unique, and funny book. "
