Absolutely Normal Chaos (Walk Two Moons #02)
A prequel to the 1995 Newbery Medal winner WALK TWO MOONS, ABSOLUTELY NORMAL CHAOS proves that Sharon Creech is not the kind of author you meet once and forget -- she writes with a memorable voice that speaks directly to the thoughts and feelings of her readers.
ABSOLUTELY NORMAL CHAOS chronicles the daily life of 13-year-old Mary Lou Finney during her most chaotic and romantic summer ever.
Mary Lou's journal opens with a plea, "Here it is: my summer journal . . But please PLEEEASSSE DON'T READ IT!"
What begins grudgingly as a dreaded assignment for school becomes a hilarious chronicle of the circle of people and events that make her summer. There is Carl Ray, the mysterious and troublesome cousin that comes to visit; Beth Ann Bartels, the best friend who's recently gone boy crazy; Alex Cheevy, the boy that makes Mary Lou's brains "mushy" and, of course, the Finney clan, her "normally strange family." What follows is a story of a summer filled with lessons and observations on love, death, friendship and family.
