Ten Miles Past Normal: A Novel by Frances O'Roark Dowell, bestselling author of Dovey Coe, The Secret Language of Girls, The Kind of Friends We Used to Be, Falling In, Shooting the Moon and The Second Life of Abigail Walker.
Janie Gorman wants to be normal. The problem with that: she’s not. She’s smart and creative and a little bit funky. She’s also an unwilling player in her parents’ modern-hippy, let’s-live-on-a-goat-farm experiment. This, to put it simply, is not helping Janie reach that “normal target.” No problem -- normal is WAY overrated. She learns bass and joins a band, gets arrested while doing a school project on the Civil Rights Movement, and falls in “like” with a boy named Monster—yes, that is his real name. Janie was going for normal, but she missed her mark by about ten miles…and we mean that as a compliment.
