Summary

From bestselling author Frances OâÈçRoark Dowell, a âÈêfunny and winningâÈë (Kirkus Reviews) tale of one teenâÈçs quest for normalcyâÈ'and the much more exciting detours she takes along the way.

Janie Gorman is smart and creative and a little bit funkyâÈöbut 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 sheâÈçs just like them, but before long she realizes normal is completely overrated, and pretty dull.
     If sheâÈçs 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 fringeâÈ'like jam band, righteous chocolate, small acts of great bravery, and a boy named Monster.
     Ten Miles Past Normal is a quirky road map for lifeâÈ'and also a reminder that detours are not about missing out, but about finding a new way home.
