About this product

Product Information

Life for four middle schoolers in New York City can be tough. David's dad has bipolar disorder. Alexa's new stepmother will never be able to fill her mom's shoes. Tiffany's dad acts like he'd rather be at the bar than at home with his family. And Albert's got a family secret he can't even tell his best friend. All these four strangers want is to be normal, but it seems like they're cursed to be outcasts no matter how hard they try. That is until they hear about a special school on New York City's Upper East Side that's meant for kids who stand out. Thanks to a lot of hard work, their new school, a magical teacher, and each other, these four misfits soon find that being different makes them something much better than normal. . . . It makes them friends.

Reviews
"Finally! A middle-grade book that is brave enough to share a variety of progressive, real-life struggles and circumstances, while also promoting empathy, acceptance, appreciation, and being true to oneself." -Eevi Jones, Vietnamese-American USA Today & WSJ bestselling writer and award-winning children's book author "'Why can't things be normal?' is the cry of this urban tale of diverse young voices, ambitiously and beautifully written yet easy to read, flowing with the secret feelings and hopes of the characters who come alive on the page. The authors have skillfully weaved alternating glimpses of four families in turmoil, all relevant and of this time. Normal is also a loving homage to the wonderful Hunter High School on the Upper East Side of New York City." -Barbara Ames, director of junior and intermediate choruses at Mannes Prep of New School University and former music teacher at Hunter College Elementary School from 1985 - 2002 "Normal is a sparkling and poignant tale of adolescents coming of age in the world's greatest city. Just like the eclectic neighborhoods they hail from, the young protagonists' diverse and compelling exteriors mask complicated homelives and personal struggles. As we learn each character's story, we are reminded of both the beauty and pain of growing up, and the complex challenges that many children are forced to shoulder. A reader will see little bits of themself in each vignette, whether identifying with the nervousness of attending a new school, finding the courage to share a secret, or the profound ache of losing a parent or watching your hero fall from grace. "The young people we are introduced to in Normal are highly relatable and engrossing and will draw in even the most jaded reader. And in doing so, we realize the moral of this modern, urban fable: that we can relate and connect across differences, even with those who, on the surface at least, seem to share nothing in common with us. The empowering message for readers young and old is (in the words of the great Dr. Seuss), 'Why fit in when you were born to stand out?' Thanks to the authors for the gift that is this special book." -Saskia Thompson, program director of education at the Carnegie Corporation of New York and former deputy chancellor for the New York City Department of Education

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
