Since his deployment, her mom has been distant, her sisters are constantly fighting, and Rylee, at only 13 years old, has to be the glue to keep them together. While her mother stays locked in her room, Rylee has been forced into the role of parent. Now, two years later, a freak accident involving a bus at school promises to restore some normality to her family.

What made the experience of listening to Unusual Awakening the most enjoyable?
The performance. Other than the slight lisp the narrator has on the letter S her voice is really pleasant, soothing, and all the while captivating. While the story itself kind of started ticking me off with how it seemed to use words to show off vocabulary rather than just get the story out... the narration helped ground it in a strange way. So the reason the performance gets 5 stars from me is because it elevated a story I would have normally stopped reading long ago.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Not for a while.
Which scene was your favorite?
When it finally got past the daily life stuff. It felt like it took so long to get there I can't even recall the exact point in the actual book it happened. But thank god it did.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When I got up to do chores while listening.
Any additional comments?
The reason I say this story is "goofy" is when the actual events in the story are pulled out of the language used in the book. Like when the character manages to fall INTO a bus. Not get hit by it.... she hits IT. I know the author meant something with it but I'm sitting there wondering if I should be laughing this much or if I'm supposed to feel sorry for the character.
When you think about some of them then you are left thinking...."Wait THAT happened? But why? Why is that bookworthy? That's so... goofy sounding."
