Nothing Special

I haven't read too many YA books told from a male perspective, and I have to say I was totally impressed with Felton's voice. The tone is conversational and funny, and Felton is an authentic and endearing character...This is a great series that teen boys especially will love. - The Reading Date Felton and Andrew are both appealing . . . readers who like their funny stories mixed with sports will root for the siblings' reconciliation. - Booklist A great male protagonist, and a fun story. - Blogger Rhiannon, The Diary of a Bookworm - The Diary of a Bookworm Herbach's writing style is so much fun, and you will find yourself alternately laughing out loud, cringing, and maybe even shedding a small tear for Felton, as he comes to terms with forsaking what makes him special. - Blogger Cupcake, Cupcake's Book Cupboard - Cupcake Book Cupboard Geoff Herbach brings another very uniquely written book to the table with Nothing Special. - Blogger Lisa, Lisa's World of Books - Lisa's World of Books This book blends humor with honest questions and realizations about family and life in an almost seamless way. - Blogger Jordyn, Ten Cent Notes - Ten Cent Notes With this book, Herbach brings to fruition the exploration he began in the first novel of how a parent's suicide has a profound ripple effect on the lives of his family for years beyond the event. The combination of outrageous circumstances and humor expertly balances out the very serious issues of guilt, anger, and mental and emotional collapse. Felton's voice is fresh and believable as a teen on the edge of manhood. Boys especially will discover kindred spirits in Felton and Andrew. Kudos to Herbach for this deep, moving, LOL funny, and completely original story. - School Library Journal
