Christine Lakin
What you see isn't always what you get in this funny and heart-wrenching story about two girls from different crowds who find common ground, by National Book Award finalist Julie Anne Peters.
Antonia is a "nerd," and Jazz is a "punk." Antonia belongs to the math club; Jazz hangs out at the tattoo parlor. Antonia's parents are divorced and her mother suffers from depression. Jazz is from a wealthy, traditional family. But when these two very different girls find themselves facing each other in a peer-counseling program, they discover they have some surprising things in common. With both humor and heart, this absorbing story will keep listeners thinking and laughing.

What made the experience of listening to Define 'Normal' the most enjoyable?
Definitely the voice acting. Christine Larkin not only perfectly imitated a very young boy, but also a toddler, and both French and Hispanic accents. Not many people can handle doing all those things in the same book.Would you recommend Define 'Normal' to your friends? Why or why not?
I'm not sure. The story can get pretty dark and beautifully heartbreaking at times, but it was nice to see some real issues being tackled, such as living with a parent's depression.Which character – as performed by Christine Lakin – was your favorite?
I feel she puts just the right amount of toughness into the character of Jazz, yet can easily take it down a notch whenever the performance needs it.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
We each have our own cross to bear.Any additional comments?
The one minor issue I had was that this title is always grouped together with "lesbian teen" related books, and so I kept waiting for a lesbian relationship to form between Jazz and Antonia. But only now do I see that it's just because of the other books in Julie Ann Peters' ouvre.The "poor rich girl growing up with expectations from her parents so bad that she totally bucks them" thing is also pretty overdone, as is the "two opposite people becoming friends" thing, but that doesn't really detract from the overall greatness of the story.
Heartfelt, Heartbreaking and Well-Acted

If you could sum up Define 'Normal' in three words, what would they be?
NORMAL MEETS GOTHI listened to this amazing audiobook from the Hub Challenge and LOVED it. Both girls are fantastic protagonists, although the story is told solely from Antonia's point of view; she is peer counseling Jazz Luther who is the total opposite of Antonia. As I listened to this compelling audiobook I realized why I love Julie Ann Peters books- she gets teens. This book is no different- both Jazz and Antonia have "stuff" going on and teens will love reading or listening to this book; can seeming "opposites" get along, trust each other, and become friends? Highly recommended!
Who was your favorite character and why?
I liked Antonia because she 'seemed' more normal than Jazz. Antonia is a straight A student and her view of life is getting more and more murky--thank goodness for the peer counseling. I think that became her life line as well as her new friendship with Jazz.Have you listened to any of Christine Lakin’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This was my first and I want to listen to more of her performances:)Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Antonia got Jazz to play the piano; I think it was a defining moment for both of them although they do not realize it at the time.Any additional comments?
I listened to this Amazing Audiobook as part of The 2015 Hub Challenge and loved this oldy but goody book.Define 'Normal' by Julie Anne Peters
