Ten Miles Past Normal Audiobook

" loved it ... heroine was clear-voiced and fantastic. funny, inspired ... high school relationships seemed spot-on. the weaving of local history might have been a little contrived but it really worked for me. "

" A teen must deal with her embarrassing family, making new friends at school and a possible new crush, all before her birthday celebration on the family's farm. "

" I thought it was good but not great "

" Great book about a girl trying to find her true self through a hard summer and year! I really empathized with the main character. This book is amazing and a great story! "

" I read a lot of young adult literature so I can recommend books to my students, and this one is the most fun I've had reading a YA novel in a long time. Quirky, funny, and real. "

" ok -- a bit predictable. My favorite book of Frances O'Roark Dowell is still Shooting the Moon. "

" A fun read with a well-voiced main character in Janie. This is a good one for those who liked The Dairy Queen. Perfect for younger ya readers, especially those looking for a story about being a little different in a new environment (this gal's the farm girl in her new high school). "

" Blah. Sometimes I can't believe the good ratings people give, like they've never read any other book and thus don't know any better. Nothing in the first fourth could capture my interest. The characterization was weak, the story seemed weak (conflict, anyone?), etc. Sorry to be a hater. "

" Really enjoyed it! Am going to recommend it to my niece. "
