"Michael Lesley's upbeat narration captures all the whimsy, humor, and heart of this YA superhero romp...This sweet queer coming-of-age story will please listeners looking for something fun, surprising, and affirming." -- AudioFile Magazine

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.

TJ Klune, you are absolutely everything. Everybody has that inner battle when it comes to deciding their favourite author. I’ve thought long and hard about it, and for me, there is only really one answer. I’ve read phenomenal books by the likes of Madeline Miller, but I truly appreciate Klune’s work......more

Goodreads review by ☆ Todd on June 23, 2021

While this superhero story was "good", I was expecting the same level of excitement that I usually feel from TJ's books, so I was left feeling slightly disappointed. For one thing, the pacing of the story felt a bit slow, even though it was approximately the same length as many of TJ's other books.......more

I’m on BookTube! =) “Nicky, no.” “Nicky, yes.” If I had to sum up the entire book with just one quote it definitely would be the one above, because it’s so accurate and describes the vibe and energy of “The Extraordinaries” so well. I mean the entire book lives of Nicky trying to become an Extraoridin......more

*3.5 stars* The Extraordinaries was another good story from the always reliable T.J. Klune, though not without its flaws. First of all, I need to talk about the stellar narration from Michael Lesley. Michael Lesley is a frequent narrator of T.J. Klune's books, and he always gives it his all. His nar......more
