A note for parents
Extras is a science fiction novel set in a dystopian future where social status and fame are currency. The story explores themes of conformity, identity, and the dangers of celebrity culture through a relatable teenage protagonist. While there is some action and mild peril, the book is primarily character-driven and thematically sophisticated, making it best suited for older middle-grade and young teen readers who can engage with its social commentary.
