What happens when an
antisocial cinephile meets up with the worldly new guy at school — a
quick-witted artist who's savvy enough to see through her sci-fi
disguise?
Meet Egg. Her real name is Victoria Jurgen, but she's
renamed herself after the kick-ass heroine of her favorite sci-fi movie,
Terminal Earth. 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 — 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 — 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 — at least as Egg knows it?
