by Patrick Ness
Synopsis:
What if you aren’t 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’re like Mikey? Who just wants to graduate and go to prom and maybe finally work up the courage to ask Henna out before someone goes and blows up the high school. Again.
Because sometimes there are problems bigger than this week’s end of the world, and sometimes you just have to find the extraordinary in your ordinary life.
Even if your best friend is worshipped by mountain lions.
Award-winning writer Patrick Ness’s bold and irreverent novel powerfully reminds us that there are many different types of remarkable.

This sounds just as fantastic as the rest of his books, if not more – the main character sounds down-to-Earth and the kind of character that most people will be able to relate to on some sort of level. Not the kind of person that is 'destined' for great things, as seems to be the case with a lot of popular YA at the moment.
The synopsis makes this sound like a really fun, quirky and humorous book, so I'm really looking forward to getting my teeth stuck into it. I also get to go and hear him speak in Birmingham in September (there are events elsewhere in the UK too. You can find them here). Definitely excited!
