An Indie Bestseller!An Indie Next Pick!A Gold Nautilus Book Award Winner!One of Goodread's "Most Anticipated YA Novels of 2020"One of Buzzfeed's "YA Fantasy Books We Can't Wait to Read in 2020"One of BookPage's "Most Anticipated YA Summer Reads"“Is it possible to fall in love with someone’s imagination? If so, consider me fully smitten. TJ Klune creates worlds where fear and threat can be conquered by kindness, and a tender, queer heart is more valuable than any weapon or power.” ―David Levithan "Uproariously funny, this razor-sharp book is half a love-letter to fandom, half self-aware satire, and wholly lovable. I haven't read anything quite like this before!" ―Sophie Gonzales, author of Only Mostly Devastated“The most down-to-earth book about superheroes I've ever read. I laughed, I cried, and I had a smile on my face the entire time I was reading it” ―Mason Deaver, bestselling author of I Wish You All the Best“TJ Klune is doing powerful work that inspires and impresses. He is a gift to our troubled times, and his novels are a radiant treat to all who discover them.” ―Locus“Klune plays with superhero genre tropes and fan-fiction clichés with the skill of a true fan―completely aware of their ridiculousness but in love with them anyway. Hilarious, sweet, and absolutely super!” ―Kirkus"If you're looking for a book to read and then reread several times before the next Spider-Man movie releases, this will be perfect." ―Buzzfeed“Klune’s deliberate use of traditional comic book themes, such as masking one's identity, mirror common struggles faced by neurodiverse and LGBTQIAP+ youth; this thoughtful approach urges readers to embrace their true selves.” ―Shelf Awareness, starred review “Part superhero homage, part sigh-worthy romance, part action-packed adventure, this novel is all kinds of comical fun... plenty of genuine laugh-out-loud moments.” ―Bulletin Center for Children’s Books“Just what teens who devour the CW’s DC shows and Marvel’s cinematic universe films need to tide them over as they await new seasons of superhero television.” ―BookPage“Klune’s romp is irresistibly readable…. Readers will be delighted!” ―Booklist“Nick’s ADHD and almost comical optimism combine to make a charming and entertaining hero[.] There’s plenty in this lighthearted, superhero-interested teen dramedy for kids who feel like they’re sometimes on the outside, including the positive representation of a teen with ADHD.” ―Publishers Weekly “Klune takes cues from Peter Milligan’s classic queer comic Enigma, with an Everyman bewildered by the superhero story that seems to revolve around him. Hand to teens involved in fandom, writers of fan fiction, lovers of superhero stories, and queer romance readers.” ―School Library JournalPraise for TJ Klune“TJ Klune is a master storyteller.” ―The Mary Sue“Touching, tender, and truly delightful, The House in the Cerulean Sea is an utterly absorbing story of tolerance, found family, and defeating bureaucracy.” ―Gail Carriger, New York Times bestselling author of Soulless, on The House in the Cerulean Sea“Sweet, comforting, and kind, this book is very close to perfect.

I laughed, I cried, and I had a smile on my face the entire time I was reading it.” ―Mason Deaver, bestselling author of I Wish You All the Best\nFrom School Library Journal\nGr 9 Up-While the end of Flash Fire dropped readers off a cliff, the beginning of the finale of this trilogy is slow to start. The summer before Nick's senior year is more than college applications and boyfriend drama-he's also training to be a vigilante superhero and master his telekinesis. Many readers will look at the first third of this book and wonder if they're remembering book two correctly-there is a reason for this confusion, and it leads to a satisfying conclusion. Still, those unknown elements leave the novel slightly off-kilter until it picks up about halfway through. Nick and his boyfriend have healthy conversations about their relationship throughout, modeling open communication and boundaries. The main couple is white, with racial diversity in the supporting cast. VERDICT Worth having for libraries that own the rest of the series.α(c) Copyright 2011.

The explosive finale to the Extraordinaries trilogy by New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune! School's out for the summer and a raging, malevolent heat has blanketed Nova City. Dark, twisted, probably evil shadows have drenched the doorsteps of her good people's homes. And Nicholas Bell--fanboy, hero, ADHD-haver--is being super dramatic again. But honestly, Nick's life is pretty much perfect. Yeah, it's hot out, but he finally gets to team up and train with his steamy superhero boyfriend to bring justice, protection, and disaster energy to the people of Nova City. It's everything he's ever dreamed of! With graduation on the horizon and his future unknowable, Nick focuses on enjoying the present. Seth, Jazz, and Gibby are busy setting up headquarters for Lighthouse, their hero team. Nick's dad has partnered with former chief of police Rodney Caplan to start a new private investigation agency. And Nick's mother, the superhero known as TK, is right there at Nick's side. Where she's always been. Hasn't she? But something's off. It's not just Simon Burke running for mayor and campaigning to "cure" Extraordinaries. And it's not even the rumors that Nick's ex-boyfriend and villain-in-the-making Owen Burke has escaped. Something else isn't right, and Nick will need all his friends and loved ones together to uncover the truth before Nova City falls prey to the Burke family. A truth that will reveal a traitor in their midst and burn through their lives like a wildfire. Praise for The Extraordinaries An Indie Bestseller! An Indie Next Pick!
