One of the best book ive read. made me cry. will -for sure touch your heart.
Hi again (wow im so on here today). Anyway this book will forever hold a place in my heart. I feel so much for the characters and i just really loved it. I also think i loved it 'casue i can re-late. This story of a emtional, smart, brave, independant girl will touch your heart and make you stop and think for a moment about how blessed you are. How evryday is a gift and no matter how much cr@p goes on in your life- there is always another day to move on.

This book is great for early teens and teens. NOT reccomended for youger children.
This book is wonderful!! There are some language problems and the mother smokes a lot. They do mention some product placement. I dont reccomend this book for kids 11 and under because of these issues. This book also is very sad. It kind of makes you look back at maybe some unfortunate kids/ adults that you know in a different way. :) I hope this helped. Have a blessed day!

couldn't put it down
I read this to my little girl and we both loved it! This book and Bridge to Terribithia remind me of my own childhood. I found Bridge to Terribithia as a child and felt better that i wasn't the "only one" who moved around a lot and dealt with losing people close to me as a consequence of moving a lot. This book would have been even better for me when i was a kid. When I finished the book I asked my little girl, "Are you waiting for normal?" fortunately she said no :)

GREAT BOOK!!! limit to mature 9yo+, though.
all of the book is good... but mommers says shes pregnant w/ pete's baby, references to body parts, and mommers stays at pete's house for a 'little overnighter' and stuff like that, not extreme. I'd say its very well written, and it's easy to read, but I think only mature kids 9+ should read it.

The Best Book Yet
at first i didn't want to read the book. but after i started i couldn't stop. i don't recommend this book for young kids 12 and under because i think they wont get the concept of the book

A Good Book
I really liked this book. It had some parts that got too slow and boring, but for the most part it was really good. My parents are really overprotective, and this book showed me how it COULD be. I liked how it didn't just tell a story, but it showed into the main character's mind. It was really good, and it's just the type of book I love. Happy reading! :)

waiting for normal..awesome!!
i think that the book waiting for normal is an awesome book and i think really anybody can read it...and that her mother is a good role model of what NOT to do and Dwight is just an amazing father
