Goodreads asked Starr Z. Davies:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Starr Z. Davies One night my husband, step-son, and I were creating a bunch of crazy “what if” scenarios and we would build on them. Ordinary started with the question: “What if a boy lived in a world where everyone had a superpower but him and the only job he could get was delivering flowers by bicycle?” It made us laugh, but it was probably another six years before I realized that there was actually a book hiding in there. Obviously, a lot has changed between that first question and the final book, but the basic question remains the same: what if you were the only person without a superpower in a world full of supers?
