Synopsis

A normal teen girl must navigate crushing on her best friend, starting a new summer job, and not being squashed during the next supervillain showdown in this YA debut filled with humour and heart. A Normie’s guide to staying alive: 1. Keep your head down. 2. Don’t make enemies. 3. Strictly no heroics. The world is run by those with the Super gene, and Riley Jones doesn’t have it. She’s just a Normie working at a diner to save money for therapy and planning how to tell her family that she’s queer. But after a run-in with a handsy superhero, Riley finds herself in desperate need of new employment, and the only place that will hire her is HENCH. Yes, HENCH, as in henchmen: masked cronies who work for the villains. Riley's plan is to follow the rules and get paid, but then she witnesses a horrible murder on the job. Caught up in a gentrification plot, a unionization effort, and a new crush on her fellow henchwoman, Riley learns that even a powerless Normie can take a stand against injustice.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

B. L. Radley wanted to be an astronaut or a penguin when they grew up. Neither worked out. Thankfully, fiction lets them live vicariously as both. Raised in rural England alongside several tame chickens and one feral brother, Radley still lives in the countryside, along with 999 story ideas, enough books to count as a fire hazard, and the occasional Oxford comma. Strictly No Heroics is their debut novel.
