The Rest of Us Just Live

by Patrick Ness
$8.90
The Rest of Us Just Live
The Rest of Us Just Live

Ordinary lives within an extraordinary world.

If you've ever felt overshadowed by the extraordinary, "The Rest of Us Just Live Here" is a refreshing take on heroism through the eyes of the unchosen ones. Patrick Ness masterfully grounds a story in the midst of a world brimming with heroes and battles, focusing on the personal struggles and triumphs of those who aren't destined to save the world. It's a narrative that cherishes the everyday and finds the remarkable in the mundane – a true celebration of the unsung and the overlooked.

Description

Not everyone has to be the chosen one. The one who's supposed to fight the zombies, or the soul-eating ghosts, or whatever the heck this new thing is, with the blue lights and the death? What if you were Mikey? Who just wants to graduate and go to prom before someone goes and blows up the high school. Again. And what if there are problems bigger than this week's end of the world and you just have to find the extraordinary in your ordinary life? Even if your best friend might be the God of mountain lions...
