Read This Book: DULL BOY

Secret superpowers. Who DOESN'T dream of that? And who doesn't love reading about them?

Sarah Cross' new YA title DULL BOY lets readers into the world of Avery, who's trying to keep his superpowers on the down-low. I'm welcoming her to my blog today to celebrate her release. Check out the super-secret details below and pick up the book today! 

ABOUT THE BOOK
Superpowers are awesome -- unless you actually have them, like Avery does. There's only so much he can pass off as "adrenaline" before people start to get suspicious. Probably it's best to lie low, so guys in white lab coats don't come to carry him away, to find out what makes his freakish body tick. Who wants to be vivisected? But flying under the radar becomes a whole lot harder when you can actually fly. It's dangerous to be different, so for now he'll pretend to be normal, unremarkable Avery -- a dull boy -- anything to keep his secret safe.

What he doesn't expect is the horrifying truth about where his powers came from, who else might have them, and the madness of one villain's plan to turn this superpowered dull boy into something even more powerful and amazing.

SARAH SUBMITTED HERSELF TO QUESTIONING...
--I think teen books can, and should, be read by grown-ups. Tell my grandma Grace why she should read your book.
Grace, you know you want to dress up in spandex and leap from rooftop to rooftop under the cover of darkness while fighting crime. It has always been your dream to be a vigilante. Now, it's true that DULL BOY is light on the spandex, but no one else has to know that! When you get caught, YOU CAN TOTALLY BLAME YOUR SUPERHERO ANTICS ON DULL BOY!

I'll take the fall. I don't mind.

--What would your 16-year-old self say if she read your book?
"#$%^ing finally! I can't believe we didn't get published at 17!"

--I am fascinated by writers' inspirations. Tell me about a real-life setting that found its way into your book.
I don't use real-life settings, but they all feel real to me now. :)
