<b>A&#160;<i>Time</i>&#160;Magazine 100 Best Young Adult Books of All Time Selection&#160;<br><br>"This novel's funny first-person narrative will grab teens (and not just sci-fi fans) with its romance and the screwball special effects." &mdash;&#160;<i>Booklist</i></b><br><br>Meet Egg. Her real name is Victoria Jurgen, but she's renamed herself after the kick-ass heroine of her favorite sci-fi movie,&#160;<i>Terminal Earth</i>. Like her namesake, Egg dresses all in white, colors her eyebrows, and shaves her head. She always knows the right answers, she's always in control, and she's far too busy &mdash; taking photos for the school paper, meeting with the Science Fiction and Fantasy Club, and hanging out at the "creature shop" with her dad, the special-effects makeup wizard &mdash; to be bothered with friends, much less members of the opposite sex. As far as Egg is concerned, she's boy proof, and she likes it that way. But then Egg meets a boy named Max, a boy who's smart and funny and creative and cool . . . and happens to like Egg. Could this be the end of the world &mdash; at least as Egg knows it?
