The League of Unexceptional Children by Gitty DaneshvariMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I have to say, I was with the kids for a while on this one, wondering if someone was just messing with them. It seems so weird to say that you want people that are as average as possible. In a way, it does make sense. You never have to worry about a disguise if you are so average that you seamlessly blend in and no one can recall what you look like or your name. I have to say, it would be a little disheartening to be one of those people. Not that I would want to be the center of attention all of the time, but I would like to know that people didn’t just forget me the moment I left.
I feel like kids will enjoy the fact that the kids are not helpless. The adults are not coming in to save the day, in fact, it’s the opposite. The kids have to come in and clean up the mess that the adults made. It shows that kids are capable of great things if given the opportunity. Of course, for most that does not involve become a super secret government agent, but you never know.
