Waiting for Normal
May. 9th, 2008 05:22 pmI've just got a new award category, thanks to 
this book: book I loved which made me most deeply relieved not to be a professional in the book world. Loved it, but boy, would I lose sleep over the younger age limits and this book, or the kid with a parent suffering from bipolar disorder who doesn't have a stepparent from heaven, or the kid whose life is a little unstable and has someone close to him/her suffering from cancer... I do know that the fact that I literally did lose sleep two nights in a row after reading was entirely due to my experience and not any child's, but still... (Age range given as 8 to 12, sometimes. The idea of handing this to an eight year old kind of does me in a bit.)
( More about the book, plus a link to A Fuse #8 Production review, plus yet again, a bit about Hilary McKay )
