It's always one of the indie kids. They chosen to save the world from the vampire hordes, the gods intent on taking over the world, or any of the other apocalypses that come about like clockwork. They fight to save everybody.
Then There Are the Rest of Us --
These are the kids that are just trying to live their lives. They just want to make it to graduation so they can leave their small town and get on with their lives.
This is their story! This is the story of the regular kids.
This was a wonderful story that subtly mocks all of the heroes and stories of apocalypses just averted in time. Yet, it also shows that sometimes it is the "regular" kids that truly are special. I would recommend this book to all teens!
