WAITING FOR NORMAL
Book ID/图书代码： 04005010B39102
English Summary/英文概要： Addie is waiting for normal. But Addie’s mother has an all-or-nothing approach to life: a food fiesta or an empty pantry, her way or no way. All-or-nothing never adds up to normal, and it can’t bring Addie all to home, where she wants to be with her half sisters. But Addie never stops hoping that one day, maybe, she’ll find normal.

Awards/获奖情况：艾琳娜•库伯（Ilene Cooper），书单（Booklist）：“我们都见过，若父母忽视小孩的感受，小孩就会转而向更宽广的人脉寻求支持。12岁的艾迪就是一个鲜例。他的继父和同母异父的姐姐将他丢给默蒙思（Mommer）自己过好日子去了。她能给艾迪的都不是好印象。艾迪只能在偶尔拜访姐姐和邻里中寻求慰藉。故事深刻有意义，感触良多。适合5-7年级学生。” 每周出版人（Publishers Weekly）：“作者将一个备受冷落的孩子塑造的阳光异常，充满正面说教力量。”
校园图书馆杂志（School Library Journal）: “一个以失去、心碎、遗弃、重生为中心的故事。”
霍恩图书(The Horn Book )：“作者成功将艾迪打造的高于她年龄的成熟和懂事，还有驱使她捍卫自己成为家里一份子的叛逆情感。”
科克斯评论（Kirkus Reviews）：“绝对一流之作。艾迪是女英雄，赋予其坚持到底和永不气馁的特色。”
柯利亚特（KLIATT）：“本书告诉我们人间处处有真情，希望无处不在。”
About the Author/作者介绍： 蕾诗莉•康娜（Leslie Connor），儿童书籍获奖作家，目前住在康涅狄格州。她当真想过，若是地球耗尽汽油供需，该如何应对？她认为那时自行车将取代汽车等一切需要燃料的交通工具，重新盛行。同时，物价和需求也会相应发生变化。于是就有了这样一个故事，一个小孩独自料理繁忙的自行车行生意以及任何可能的突发状况。 Leslie Connor has her own memories of the energy crunch of the seventies, and she got to thinking: What comes after the long lines at the pumps? What if the earth’s supply of gasoline were to finally run out? She tried to imagine what it would look like: "I saw bicycles. And I saw them taking to the highways. I also saw a changing value of goods and services. Then Dewey showed up on my shoulder to tell the story of these kids home alone, trying to keep up with operating a busy bike-repair shop and coping with the unfamiliar condition of suddenly having something everybody else wants." Leslie is the author of many award-winning books for children, including Waiting for Normal, winner of the ALA Schneider Family Book Award, Miss Bridie Chose a Shovel, and Dead on Town Line, a young-adult novel in verse. She lives with her family in Connecticut.
