Normal is the story of four 12-year-olds living in New York City, each of whom thinks that their family isn't normal, and longs for a better life:DAVID: a Jewish boy living in Brooklyn with a bipolar father, two younger brothers, and an overwhelmed mother.TIFFANY: an Italian-American girl in Queens with an alcoholic father, older sister and working-class mom. ALBERT: a Chinese-American only child living in Manhattan's Chinatown, whose father recently left his conservative, traditional mother for a man and came out as gay. JOCELYN: an African-American girl living in the Bronx who is adjusting to life with a new, difficult step-mom after her mother passed away.Sixth grade is a major struggle for each of the four kids in their respective schools.However, they all end up meeting to take an exam to get into Hunter, a special public school in Manhattan for grades 7 through 12.Despite their ongoing challenges at home and at their current schools, the four kids pass the Hunter test and find out in June that they’ve gotten in. They all meet again in September, in seventh grade at this new school, in class, and thanks to a very special communications & theater teacher Mrs. Marsh, their lives change forever, for the better. During a vulnerable, risky class activity on the 2nd day of school, the four kids each take a chance, and find out just how much they actually have in common with each other. They realize that there might not be anything "normal" about anyone.And most important, they come to all understand that they're pretty cool as they all are. For 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th graders and their parents and teachers, Normal is a compelling character-driven tale of growing up feeling like you’re alone and different, and coming to realize that you’re neither. It’s full of laughs, tears, and an ending you’ll never forget.
