In this video, teenage students will be introduced to "Ten Miles Past Normal" by Frances O'Roark Dowell. When Janie Gorman first persuaded her parents to move to a farm, she was ecstatic. Little did she realize what a bummer it would be for her reputation once she hit high school. Now a freshman, Janie still loves the goats, but not her reputation as "goat girl." What's a smart, ambitious high schooler to do? In Janie's case, the jam band, an awesome civil rights project, and a cute boy or two are all stops on her journey toward normal ... or at least as "normal" as Janie will ever get. This is a great resource for motivating upper grade readers. (1:26)
