"Readers will appreciate Sara] as good literary company even as they develop sympathy for her struggles." --BCCB
"It's the vivid, insightful depiction of Sara's internal struggles that readers will remember." --Booklist
"A must-buy." --School Library Journal (starred review) In this prequel to the Edgar Award-winning OCDaniel, fan-favorite Sara quests for "normal" and finds something even better along the way. Sara's Rules to be Normal 1. Stop taking your pills
19. Make a friend
137. Don't put mayonnaise on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Sara wants one thing: to be normal. What she has instead are multiple diagnoses from Dr. Ring. Sara's constant battle with False Alarm--what she calls panic attacks--and other episodes cause her to isolate herself. She rarely speaks, especially not at school, and so she doesn't have any friends. But when she starts group therapy she meets someone new. Talkative and outgoing Erin doesn't believe in "normal," and Sara finds herself in unfamiliar territory: at the movies, at a birthday party, and with someone to tell about her crush--in short, with a friend. But there's more to Erin than her cheerful exterior, and Sara begins to wonder if helping Erin will mean sacrificing their friendship.
