4.0
A funny, messy, action-packed, satisfying conclusion to the Extraordinaries trilogy! Compared to the first two, this one is a slow starter but it blossoms into even more action. And it retains the aspects we've come to love: Nick's hilarious, chaotic energy; his ride-or-die Scooby gang; exquisitely painful secondhand embarrassment (plus the eyerolling shenanigans of the Dad Squad); the verbal bravado and fumbling exploration of coming-of-age sexuality; timely social commentary; and at least one surprisingly great new character (Burrito Jerry FTW!). Fans of the series are going to be happy! And fans of chaotic, neurodiverse, LGBTQ, teen superhero fanfic should definitely check out book one, The Exraordinaries.

Superhero/comic book style violence. The gaslighting is of the supervillain mind control variety.
