Acerca de esta escucha
Laugh-out-loud funny and instantly recognisable - not since The Inbetweeners has a coming of age story been so irreverent and relatable.
Fifteen-year-old Sam isn't special. He's not a famous vlogger, he's never gone viral and he doesn't want to be the Next Big Thing. What he likes most is chatting to his friends and having a bit of a kick about.
None of which was a problem until Dad got rich and Mum made the whole family move to London. Now Sam is being made to go to the North London Academy for the Gifted and Talented, where every student is too busy planning Hollywood domination or starting alt-metal psychedelica crossover bands or making clothes out of bathmats to give someone as normal as him the time of day.
Can Sam navigate his way through the weirdness and find a way to be himself?
A brilliant modern satire about fitting in, falling out and staying true to your own averageness.

Teenagers are a breed of their own. They speak their own language, they abide by their own rules, and they seem to exist to drive adults crazy. But adolescence is a typical stage of human development that is the essential preparation for success in the adult world. The more you understand about your teen’s brain, the better prepared you will be to handle this turbulent time. Professor Abigail Baird has devoted the majority of her career to studying adolescence, and in this Audible Original, she shares the latest perspectives on this amazing time of cognitive and behavioral growth.

Thirteen-year-old Nat Beacon loves a lot of things: her dog Warbucks, her best friend Chloe, and competing on her wheelchair racing team, the Zoomers, to name a few. But there's one thing she's absolutely obsessed with: musicals! From Hamilton to Les Mis, there's not a cast album she hasn't memorized and belted along to. She's never actually been in a musical though, or even seen an actor who uses a wheelchair for mobility on stage. Would someone like Nat ever get cast?

Quito Cruz might be a genius piano player and composer in New York City now but it doesn’t mean that he’s any closer to his Broadway dream. Although Quito knows what the problem is. Or rather who. Because ever since that night in college—with pretty-boy jock Emmett Aoki—his inspiration has been completely MIA . . . Now Quito’s dad wants him to put on a charity performance in his hometown. And there’s one hella big string attached: convince Emmett—now one of Hollywood’s hottest celebrities—to perform.

When David quit his band, he missed his shot at fame, trapped in an ordinary high school life while his ex-best friend, Chance, became the hottest teen pop star in America. Then tragedy throws David and Chance back into contact. As old wounds break open, the boys find themselves trading frenemy status for a confusing, secret romance—one that could be David’s ticket back into the band and the spotlight. As the mixture of business and pleasure becomes a powder keg, David will have to choose: Is this his second chance at glory? Or his second chance at Chance?

Contrary to popular belief, best friends Kate Garfield and Anderson Walker are not codependent. Carpooling to and from theater rehearsals? Environmentally sound and efficient. Consulting each other on every single life decision? Basic good judgment. Pining for the same guys from afar? Shared crushes are more fun anyway. But when Kate and Andy's latest long-distance crush shows up at their school, everything goes off-script. Matt Olsson is talented and sweet, and Kate likes him. She really likes him. The only problem? So does Anderson.

Editor's Pick
Oh, the secondhand embarrassment!
"In today’s world, being extraordinary is lauded and encouraged; however, Sam just wants an ordinary life in his ordinary town with his ordinary friends. So when his parents suddenly announce they’re moving, not just to London but also up the social ladder, Sam isn’t the happiest kid on the block. Bolstered with absolutely hilarious and relatable characters—like his mother, the overnight self-proclaimed blogger or the cool teacher who’s actually not so cool—this listen will leave you cringing like I did when I realized that I knew people, including myself, who were just like some of the most embarrassing characters. Performed fantastically by Ryan Watson, The Gifted, the Talented, and Me is a blessing to anyone, even non-millennials, struggling to understand and find their role in our ever-increasing social media and fame-obsessed world." —Nicole R., Audible Editor

FUN !!
This is a clever story ! While being fun and fanciful, the author plays on cliches and while entertaining the listener, weaves in thought provoking bullets that fly out unexpectedly and caused me to pause, and think. I enjoyed this even more than I expected. Dry humor with a touch of class.

Just okay
The “Inbetweeners” likeness made me buy it but I was ultimately disappointed. It was pretty boring and inaccessible, meaning that the coming of age story seemed too much of a stretch and with no heart. I think I laughed once.

Fun teenage tale of What it means to Be “Normal”
The book started out as a 5 for me with an original and humorous spin on the story of a teenager moving to a new school and finding himself separated from the friends he grew up with. In this case the hero was a “normal” guy with an interest in sports and lots of friends. When his parents move to London and transfer their kids to a school for the gifted and talented his siblings blossom and the hero is suddenly an outcast in a school where weird is cool and “normal” is definitely not. The angst of going from ordinary to outcast is a challenge told in some very funny adventures. The second part of the book drops to a “3” with an all-too predictable love story - but it’s still enjoyable overall.

Charming!
The story is rather simple, but it was executed so well in both writing and performance that it didn't need much more of anything.
This was one of the best narrator performances I've heard on Audible so far (out of 40-50 titles in my library).
My only complaint is that it's fairly short. I bought it on sale, but I would not have spent an entire credit on it.
