(2) YA Victoria, a Los Angeles teen who renames herself Egg, describes her style as "post-apocalyptic." She has a tough-girl attitude to match her shaved head, piercings, and colored eyebrows, all of which she believes renders her "boy proof." Castellucci's brooding, smart, self-confident narrator gives an edge to the geeky sci-fi fan stereotype, as well as a warts-and-all glimpse into Hollywood.
