About the Author
Nancy Werlin writes YA fiction that ranges from realistic fiction to suspense to fantasy, often breaking the boundaries between genres. Her books have gathered awards too numerous to mention, but including National Book award finalist, Edgar award winner and finalist, New York Times bestseller, L.A. Book Prize finalist, and IndieBound Top Ten. Nancy's first novel, Are You Alone on Purpose, was a Publishers Weekly Flying Start pick. Of Nancy's suspense fiction, Sarah Weinman says, "Chances are, many of you haven't heard of this author. That would be a shame, because she's simply one of the best crime novelists going right now. Period." These titles are where Nancy habitually breaks genre-separation rules and include The Rules of Survival (a National Book Award finalist), The Killer's Cousin (Edgar award winner), Locked Inside (Edgar award nominee), Black Mirror (which the Washington Post called "an edge-of-your seat thriller"), and Double Helix (named to multiple best-of-year book lists). Nancy's unusual fantasy fiction was inspired by the ballad Scarborough Fair and includes the loose trilogy Impossible (a New York Times bestseller), Extraordinary (featuring a rare thing in fantasy fiction: a Jewish heroine), and her personal beloved, Unthinkable. For fun, Nancy also writes and draws a graphic memoir in comics, using her Tumblr to self-publish an episode three times a week. Her favorite book in all the world is Jane Eyre. A graduate of Yale, Nancy lives near Boston, Massachusetts with her husband.

Nancy Werlin's Impossible was so good, I had to get Extraordinary. The same vague description, the same steady unveil of vital plot information, and the same supernatural culprits. The story is certainly different from the first book, and not at all a sequel, but you will certainly notice some similarities from the start of the book.Phoebe Rothschild is a normal girl from an extraordinary family. From the earliest Rothschilds down to her mother, the entire family is quite simply extraordinary, but Phoebe just wants to be normal. She has a hard time dealing with the attention that comes with being a part of one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in the world. When Mallory Tolliver arrives in seventh grade, Phoebe is immediately drawn to her. Mallory is odd, eccentric, and Phoebe instantly becomes her best and only friend.The reader, however, knows Mallory has an ulterior motive. With little snippits of conversations with the Queen, we know Mallory was planted there to meet Phoebe specifically, but we have no idea why and what the Queen has planned for Phoebe. When years pass and it seems Mallory can't bring herself to do what she there for, her half-brother Ryland arrives. Ryland is enchanting, but rude at the same time. Phoebe can't stop thinking about him, but she somehow feels there is something wrong about the horrible things he says to her, like how she is fat, ordinary, and not particularly important. When Mallory finally confronts Phoebe about dating Ryland (a wicked plan cooked up by Ryland and the Queen), Phoebe runs straight into the arms of Ryland to be consoled. While in their house, though, she opens his bedroom door only to find an enchanted garden behind the door- a garden that can't possibly be there but certainly is.The truth quickly comes out that Ryland and Mallory are faeries. A curse was placed on Phoebe's family and the faeries need her as a sacrifice to restore their power and their kingdom. But when she still doesn't want to know about it, Ryland creates an accident that leaves her mother in a coma and Phoebe without much choice. As she enters the Faerie World, she knows this is the end of her ordinary life, as the curse stipulates, but she still can't lose that bit of extraordinary that floats through her veins like the ghosts of all her ancestors. Knowing the faeries are dying because of the curse, will Phoebe be willing to sacrifice herself to the very people who have tricked her for years?I think the downfall of reading this book directly after Impossible was that they were too similar and Extraordinary just wasn't as good. I think if I had read them a few months apart, I might have liked this book better, but it just didn't stack up to the first book. The slow but well-paced reveal of information was still there, but the information revealed wasn't a surprise anymore- it was essentially the same story as Impossible, just tweaked a little. The book became much more predictable than the first story.This is a decent story for a junior high to high school student. There are some interesting morals to be discussed with any young woman. I was particularly angered by the things Ryland said to Phoebe about her being so ordinary. I know they were part of him trying to fulfill the curse, but instead they just really ticked me off. If I was reading this book with a student, I would definitely have to use that as a teaching experience. It would be too hard to just let it lie there. Otherwise, this is a decent book. It's an interesting enough read and should keep the reader interested. Maybe next time Werlin can mix it up a bit? Not be so formulaic?
I really wanted to like this one. The premise on the book jacket really grabbed me and went in with some high expectations. I was a little disappointed at first, and then found myself not feeling anything as I read. No sympathy for Phoebe, the fairies, Mallory.Even though I didn't particularly care for this book, I still liked the premise. I just wish it had been written a little better. I was hoping that Phoebe would have been stronger, like everyone had been saying she was. There were two big things I didn't really like. One was Ryland. The character was fine, but I was hoping he would have to actually work to seduce Phoebe instead of having this huge instantaneous obsession that Phoebe fell under. What I wanted to see, since she was strong and extraordinary like her ancestors, that she would have resisted the fairy glamor. At least to a degree.The second thing I didn't like, the ending felt too anticlimactic. I was waiting for a final battle or some big event after the build up of the novel. Instead, it felt like such a let down. The last sacrifice of the book, I found myself rolling my eyes at my book. It felt too simple for such a huge deal that the plot was leading towards.Now let me list the things I did like. I liked how at the beginning of the chapters, we have the "Conversations with the Faerie Queen". We don't get enough information to spoil the novel, but we do get enough to get an idea of what kind of trouble that Phoebe and her family are in.I liked the fairy land/world. I was really interested in this aspect of the novel. It was what kept me reading instead of putting down the book and seeing if the bookstore would let me have my money back for it instead. But the fairy world wasn't enough to make this book anywhere close to the title, Extraordinary. It fell short for me.
Phoebe has a wealthy family, with a mother who is a powerful businesswoman. She feels like she is nothing special, just a regular teenager, and runs with the "in crowd" of girls at school. Her life changes when she decides that she wants more out of life and rejects her former friends to befriend a new girl at school, Mallory, who dresses unconventionally and seems rather odd. When Phoebe finds out that Mallory's single mother appears to be mentally ill and is poorly equipped to take care of either herself or Mallory, Phoebe gets her family to intervene and Mallory becomes her best friend. However, Mallory's oddness is more than meets the eye as she is actually a part of the Faerie and has been tasked by the Queen to complete an old bargain made by one of Phoebe's ancestors which has disrupted the balance of magic. Over time, Mallory begins to feel conflicted about her task, and to avert disaster, the Queen sends another, Ryland, her brother to seduce and break down Phoebe. Will Ryland be able to make Phoebe admit to being ordinary to complete the bargain, or does Phoebe have enough spark within her and support from her friends to escape her fate? This modern day fairytale is an interesting take on some familiar themes. While I liked the book, I felt that her previous book, Impossible was a stronger story.
