About the Author
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 nine-hundred-and-ninety-nine story ideas, enough books to count as a fire hazard, and the occasional Oxford Comma. Strictly No Heroics is their debut novel.
Reviews

"In this insightful, multilayered debut... Radley subverts classic comic book tropes to craft an imaginative futuristic setting grounded in realistic interpersonal challenges." --Publishers Weekly, starred Review

"Riley's journey in this world populated with queer and racially diverse characters is both thrilling and galvanizing." -- Kirkus

"It's not easy being a Normie in a world where superheroes and villains take up all the attention... so Riley's hesitance to just embrace her own badass self is understandable...the book ends on a celebratory note as she finally realizes that she can have love, a great job, a close and honest connection with her family, and a meaningful place in the world, regardless of her status. " --BCCB

" Radley's debut smartly winds critical issues into the propulsive plot. A thrill ride for socially conscious teens." --Booklist Online
