Not Exactly Normal - Tapa blanda

Acerca del autor

Devin Brown, a professor of literature at Asbury College, lives with his family in Lexington, Kentucky. Not Exactly Normal combines several of his own major interests: philosophy, sports, history, religion, and literature. He says that the most fun aspect of writing this book was developing the unusual superheroes that Todd Farrel creates for his art project. This is his first published novel. 

De la contraportada

He was always so normal!

Todd Farrel attends tiny St. Luke's Episcopal School in rural New England. Each year the sixth graders finish winter term with their big social studies reports. Wanting to make his report something special this year, Todd finally decides to write about mystical experiences -- something definitely "not" normal. After doing some research, Todd determines that he needs to have his own mystical experience.

While practicing soccer with his best friend, Nitro, listening to an unusual teacher who encourages original thinking, and giving in to his curiosity about Leda, the intelligent but unusual (in Todd's opinion) girl from California, Todd discovers some pretty extraordinary aspects to life in his ordinary world.

"Not Exactly Normal" is a book about being different and about fitting in, about accepting the differences of others and seeing ways that everyone is alike. It will challenge readers' assumptions and help them look at the world and their lives in new ways.
