The arrival of The League of Unexceptional Children…suggests that it could be time for the imperfect child to share a sliver of spotlight. I don't mean the uncaring or incurious child, but the child looking outward rather than inor rather than up, as tends to be the only direction for Type A's and their offspring. At a moment when we expect more achievement and intellectual sophistication from our teenagers than from some presidential candidates, this book…proposes alternatives…Outcasts, nerds and economically abandoned kids have long found space in books and films oriented toward adventure. Daneshvari recognizes that far more powerful than a dork becoming cool is the ignored finally being heard, the invisible seen. Here's hoping we will be witnessing much more of Jonathan and Shelley's kind of transformation, on the page and in life. Now that would be the best kind of American exceptionalism.
Are you average? Normal? Forgettable? If so, the League of Unexceptional Children is for you! This first book in a hilarious new adventure series is for anyone who's struggled to be noticed in a sea of above-average overachievers.
What is the League of Unexceptional Children? I'm glad you asked. You didn't ask? Well, you would have eventually and I hate to waste time. The League of Unexceptional Children is a covert network that uses the nation's most average, normal, and utterly unexceptional children as spies. Why the average kids? Why not the brainiacs? Or the beauty queens? Or the jocks? It's simple: People remember them. But not the unexceptionals. They are the forgotten ones. Until now!
