4.5 stars.

TJ Klune is quickly becoming a must read author for me. It seems as though everything he touches is magic. This is definitely true with this quick teen read.

The Extraordinaries is something like Fangirl/Carry On with a superhero spin. Humorous and flippant while tackling difficult topics and those awkward teenage moments and (let's face it) years. The writing is fresh and funny and everything moves so easily. The book zoomed along and it could easily be a single-sitting read.

Klune's characters are lovable, unapologetically themselves, and believable. There is a lot of encouragement for individuality and being true to yourself, which I found just so adorable. The characters, both adults and teens, feel inclusive and the writing perpetuates a great atmosphere of acceptance.

The plot is sometimes a bit overly transparent, but I didn't mind that since I was having so much fun with the read. I really enjoyed this first installment in what looks to be an upcoming trilogy and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book and...let's be honest here...anything else TJ Klune happens to write.
