Andrew Simpson Smith

pg264-316

Haven't exactly read since the previous post, but a couple of pages here and there have produced a short summary. Tally had tried to escape with a couple of her "Crim" friends and managed to break out, but she get separated and things happen.

Tally had "escaped" from Pretty Town and managed to get herself into a third world village. This village consider the Tally a god because of her beauty and all Pretties are considered gods. In this village she also meets Andrew Simpson Smith, the villages "Holy Man" who can communicate with Tally. He is the only one that can speak to Tally and he is considered the translator. Tally stays in the village for a couple of days until the "Specials" find out she's in the village and they try to get her back to Pretty Town, but with the aid of Andrew manages to evade them.

Old timers. This village reminds me of like a Native American tribe village and I like how Scott managed to incorporate the past, present (our present) and the future. Pretty sweet.
