"Some people are extraordinary. Some are just extra. TJ Klune's YA debut, The Extraordinaries, is a queer coming-of-age story about a fanboy with ADHD and the heroes he loves.
Nick Bell? Not extraordinary. But being the most popular fanfiction writer in the Extraordinaries fandom is a superpower, right?
After a chance encounter with Shadow Star, Nova City’s mightiest hero (and Nick’s biggest crush), Nick sets out to make himself extraordinary. And he’ll do it with or without the reluctant help of Seth Gray, Nick's best friend (and maybe the love of his life)."--Goodreads blurb
As a Klune fan, I was excited to start this series. My experience with Klune has been sweet and emotional books that I have loved, and this was a bit of a departure from that. This is a YA novel and very much reads like one. But that doesn't mean it wasn't good. First and foremost, it was hilarious. The mind of a gay teenage boy with ADHD is apparently very entertaining! Regardless of it being fantasy, go into this being ready to suspend belief, because it's not just the setting, but the characters that are quite unbelievable at times. Will definitely be continuing on with this series!
