Define "Normal"

From National Book Award Finalist Julie Anne Peters

This thoughtful, wry story is about two girls—a "punk" and a "prep"—who find themselves facing each other in a peer-counseling program and discover that they have some surprising things in common. A new reading-group guide written by the author is included in the back of this paperback edition.
