They are now joined by Julia Hoban's compassionate first novel, Acting Normal. Eighteen-year-old Stephanie Holt wants to "act normal" at her new school, which means concealing her past career as an actress in TV commercials, her aspirations to be a "real" actor, and the terrible event in her recent past that has led to a year of institutions and psychiatrists.
Her secretiveness separates her from the possibility of friendship until brash, sarcastic Dahlia takes her on as a buddy. With the help of many sessions with an understanding therapist, Stephanie is finally able to face the memory of the nanny who abused her when she was 5 years old- a memory that devastated her when it suddenly surfaced during an acting class. With newfound strength and a clearer understanding that she was not at fault for the abuse, Stephanie is able to help her friend Dahlia solve her problems with an older boyfriend, and to courageously embark upon her own plans to pursue acting. Teens with an interest in repressed memories and troubled childhoods will find Stephanie's revelation moving and inspiring. --Patty Campbell]]> 514824 4.01 488 157 1998 3875066 0060210249 9780060210243 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3875066.Buzby_to_the_Rescue 0.0 0 514824 4.01 488 157 64025 4.16 258 74 1993 3434799 0525444904 9780525444909 1 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3434799.Quick_Chick 0.0 0 514824 4.01 488 157 81605 3.79 262 43 1989 6695822 0061691550 9780061691553 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6695822-collection-of-storytime-favorites 0.0 0 514824 4.01 488 157 64025 4.16 258 74 1990 7245570 0575046422 9780575046429 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7245570-quick-chick 0.0 0 514824 4.01 488 157 1989 7296170 0060223979 9780060223977 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7296170-amy-loves-the-sun 0.0 0 514824 4.01 488 157 81605 3.79 262 43 1988 1794980 0590206338 9780590206334 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1794980.Amy_Loves_the_Wind 0.0 0 514824 4.01 488 157 81605 3.79 262 43 1988
