When little Norm reaches the cabin a girl named Patricia cares for him and gives him some hot chocolate. When little Norm is finished in the hospital he returns to school. He graduates from grammar school, but he keeps falling ill. Nick tends to little Norm while he is ill, and makes him a "hot toddy" which is tea mixed with brandy, lemon, and honey. Nick tells little Norm that he must get a job. Little Norm gets a job that his grandfather recommends at Topanga beach. Little Norm returns to surfing, and his old crew of skateboarders to cope with his feelings. Little Norm begins to go through puberty, and becomes a bit of a rebel. He goes to parties and starts fights. He gets grounded for sneaking out with his girlfriend to Makeout Mountain. The house little Norm's father bought for him and his mother caught fire, and it burned down. Little Norm's grandmother died of lung cancer. Little Norm convinced Nick to unground him and allow him to go surfing. Little Norm finally realizes that he is sad and angry. He misses his father, and remembers all of the things his dad had taught him to do on Topanga beach. The book then goes to the epilogue. The epilogue tells you what went wrong with the flight, and about little Norm explaining to his son Noah about the plane crash. The book ends with little Norm taking his son skiing, and with Noah (little Norm's son) ending up enjoying himself just as little Norm had done with his father.

My Thoughts:
This book was great. It had very interesting events that I personally could not relate too. I have only been snowboarding and skateboarding, but little Norm did so many things that I can only imagine what it must have felt like. The book had good times and bad times, and ended up overall to be a great story. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for something good to pleasure read. This will be the last blog that I write about Crazy For The Storm, but I will remember this book in the future.
