Review by Brynn Haley, grade 10
How Beautiful the Ordinary is a compilation of twelve unique stories about personal identity. Some are short, some are considerably long, one is in verse, and there are two comics.
Each story has a different style and voice and the characters are very diverse in age, culture, and life experiences. Some stories incorporate fantasy, others are very real. Some have happy endings, others don't. The one thing that each story has in common with the rest is that the main characters are experiencing a critical time in self-discovery.
I really enjoyed the stories in this book. They do a great job of showing that every person can be extraordinary. I recommend this book to any teen.
