New Release Day GIVEAWAY-Extraordinary: The True Story of My Fairygodparent, Who Almost Killed Me, and Certainly Never Made Me a Princess

Day two of featuring Adam Selzer! And today it is all about EXTRAORDINARY, The True Story of My Fairygodparent, Who Almost Killed Me, and Certainly Never Made Me a Princess. The title alone is a fun read and when you turn the page to start the story you will not be disappointed. I read the ARC of this a long while ago and have been waiting for release day to say....get this one! It's witty, it's funny and the plot twists and turns are crazy good.

From Indie Bound:

Jennifer Van Der Berg would like you to know that the book ostensibly written about her—Born to Be Extraordinary by Eileen Codlin—is a bunch of bunk. Yes, she had a fairy godparent mess with her life, but no, she was not made into a princess or given the gift of self-confidence, and she sure as hell didn't get a hot boyfriend out of it. 
Here's the REAL scoop . . .



My Thoughts from GoodReads:


I will say (as The Plot Whisperer does), beginnings hook the reader (and Adam Selzer did a great job of hooking me in)...endings make fans. I am a fan. He took vampires (including prudish victorian ones), fairy godmothers (okay, fairy godmofo), zombies, highschool, true love, an ordinary girl (who deals with anger by smashing crap from the dollar store), Shakespeare, The Music Man and some unicorn poop, mixed it all together into a great, clever read for teens. Kind of a wow for me.
