Publisher Comments

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 worshiped by mountain lions.

Award-winning writer Patrick Ness's bold and irreverent novel powerfully reminds us that there are many different types of remarkable.

Review

“Patrick Ness is an insanely beautiful writer.” --John Green

Review

Magical, mysterious and breathtakingly suspenseful, The Rest of Us Just Live Here is an absolute marvel of imagination, invention, and heart. I truly couldnt put it down -- proof, once again, that Ness never disappoints. --Michael Cart, author of My Father & #8217;s Scar

Review

“Hilarious! And so, so clever. All the characters are beautifully drawn. This is one smart, warm book, both entertaining and thought-provoking.” --Monica Edinger

Review

The Rest of Us Just Live Here is the antidote to all things formulaic: its meta, playful, wise and true--and clever-as-hell. --emily m. danforth, author of The Miseducation of Cameron Post

Review

“Ness deadpan sci-fi novel pokes fun at far-fetched futuristic fantasies while emphasizing the important victories of merely living. This memorable, moving, and often hilarious read is sure to be a hit.” Booklist (starred review)

Review

“Fresh, funny, and full of heart: not to be missed.” Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Review

“In this often-hilarious (and just as often poignant) parody of fantasy stories from Harrys to Buffys, not everyone is a Chosen One, but “everyones got something”; everybody matters.” Horn Book Magazine
