A review by msarahlynn
The League of Unexceptional Children by Gitty Daneshvari

Did not finish book. Stopped at 28%.

I’m an elementary library tech. I read a lot of books geared toward this age group in order to offer recommendations as well as to help determine what I will use as a read aloud. This was okay, but I’m not going to use it as a read aloud and it wasn’t interesting enough to continue reading. The humor was degrading and while it’s possible that they will shine as the heroes of the story later it was insulting. Some children are average and enjoy average things. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Also there were a few jokes about being tested for mental illness and a reference to being an aspiring sociopath. Didn’t hit the mark as far as a book I would recommend.
