An Indie Bestseller! An Indie Next Pick! A Gold Nautilus Book Award Winner!

Some people are extraordinary. Some are just extra. New York Times and USA Today bestselling author TJ Klune delivers a joyful, heartfelt YA debut that celebrates fanboy culture, first love, and finding your own kind of heroism.

Nick Bell isn’t extraordinary—at least not in the way Nova City’s caped crusaders are. But as the most popular fanfiction writer in the Extraordinaries fandom, he’s got a different kind of superpower: words. When Nick has a chance encounter with Shadow Star, the city’s mightiest hero (and his biggest crush), everything changes. Suddenly, Nick is determined to become extraordinary himself, even if it means dragging his best friend Seth Gray along for the ride. The thing is, Seth might just be the real hero of Nick’s story—if Nick can stop obsessing over Shadow Star long enough to notice.

This queer coming-of-age adventure sparkles with Klune’s signature humor and heart. Perfect for readers who’ve ever written fanfic at 2 a.m., crushed on a superhero, or wondered if they were enough just as they are. Nick’s ADHD brain is portrayed with authenticity and warmth, making this a story that celebrates neurodiversity alongside found family and self-acceptance.

If you loved Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell or Renegades by Marissa Meyer, you’ll adore this witty, tender celebration of fandom, friendship, and finding your own extraordinary.
