Ten Miles Past Normal

Ten Miles Past Normal

From bestselling author Frances Oâ€™Roark Dowell, a â€œfunny and winningâ€ (Kirkus Reviews) tale of one teenâ€™s quest for normalcyâ€”and the much more exciting detours she takes along the way.

Janie Gorman is smart and creative and a little bit funkyâ€¦but what she really wants to be is normal. Because living on an isolated farm with her modern-hippy parents is decidedly not normal, no matter how delicious the goat cheese. High school gives Janie the chance to prove to her suburban peers that sheâ€™s just like them, but before long she realizes normal is completely overrated, and pretty dull.
Â Â Â Â If sheâ€™s going to learn how to live large (and forget the haters), Janie will have to give up the quest and make room in her life for things from the fringeâ€”like jam band, righteous chocolate, small acts of great bravery, and a boy named Monster.
Â Â Â Â Ten Miles Past Normal is a quirky road map for lifeâ€”and also a reminder that detours are not about missing out, but about finding a new way home.
