Bookseller recommendation

“This was much easier for me to get into as an audio. I found it quite entertaining & sweet. I was laughing out loud at times. Klune has once again brought us a quirky & charming tale wrapped up in very different paper.”
— Julia • The Bookloft

Bookseller recommendation

“This thrilling, outrageously funny book one of this trilogy is giving Spiderman meets Heartstopper vibes, if Spiderman had ADHD, like our one-of-kind protagonist, Nick Bell. Quickly becoming one of my favorite series of 2022 this book has it all--great characterization, heartfelt family drama, plot twists, fan fiction, and silly silly antics. Prepare to laugh out loud and hunker down because you're going to want to read all three!”
— Zinna • A Great Good Place for Books

An Indie Next Pick!

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).

Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl meets Marissa Meyer's Renegades in TJ Klune's YA debut.
