This story was all about queer joy having a father who accepts you wholeheartedly, having a friend group who also represents facets of the LGBTQIA+ community, being yourself without the disguises or the masks, feeling freedom to be goofy or fun or serious. When Klune said he wanted to write stories representing queerness accurately and positively, he most definitely delivered. This is my first TJ Klune and I’m impressed beyond impressed. But the one difference is that Nick Bell isn’t extraordinary. If you’ve ever wanted to be a superhero as a kid, then you will resonate so hard with this book. The story of a young kid named Nick Bell who truly wants to be like his favorite superheroes, extraordinary. The Extraordinaries is that life except in a world where superheroes actually exist. Just waiting for a black cat with a crescent on her forehead to tell me I’m the descendants of moon people and I’m a princess. Because I was that girl who stood on my parents bed watching Sailor Moon every afternoon and pretending that my magic pen will transform me into an evil-fighting superhero.ĭoesn’t every nerdy person go through this phase of their life? I might still be going through this phase. If you’re the type of person who’s been waiting to be a Sailor Solider since you were 15 years old, then this is the book for you.
