Marisa Reichardt's A Shot at Normal<\/i> is a powerful and timely novel about justice, agency, family, and taking your shot, even when it seems impossible.<\/b>
\nDr. Villapando told me to get a good attorney. He wasn't serious. But I am. I'm going to sue my parents.<\/i>
\nJuniper Jade's parents are hippies. They didn\u2019t attend the first Woodstock, but they were there for the second one. The Jade family lives an all-organic homeschool lifestyle that means no plastics, no cell phones, and no vaccines. It isn\u2019t exactly normal<\/i>, but it\u2019s the only thing Juniper has ever known. She doesn\u2019t agree with her parents on everything, but she knows that to be in this family, you've got to stick to the rules. That is, until the unthinkable happens.
\nJuniper contracts the measles and unknowingly passes the disease along, with tragic consequences. She is shell-shocked. Juniper knows she is responsible and feels simultaneously helpless and furious at her parents, and herself.
\nNow, with the help of Nico, the boy who works at the library and loves movies and may just be more than a friend, Juniper comes to a decision: she is going to get vaccinated. Her parents refuse so Juniper arms herself with a lawyer and prepares for battle. But is waging war for her autonomy worth losing her family? How much is Juniper willing to risk for a shot at normal?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
