Far from Normal

(2) YA At the end of Deliver Us from Normal, the Harrisongs move to a decrepit houseboat; this sequel picks up two years later. After fourteen-year-old Charles writes an article about living on the boat, the Bargain Bonanza chain blackmails the family into becoming their spokesfamily. In Charles's agonized yet very funny narration, Klise displays both her grasp of family relationships and her sharp wit.
