My review of this book: I loved this book. It was one of a kind. I cried very hard at the end. It is for sensitive people. I did not think that the title fit. I would like to read more by this author.

My review of this book: Dallas and Florida really were trouble twins. They acted so badly for a reason though; they never wanted to live in an orphanage. I agree with thier not wanting to be there, but it is true that they were handfuls. Tiller and Sairy lived on a farm, so they had tons of room. The book was very good and I would definetely read it again.

My review of this book: I thought that Absolutely Normal Chaos by Sharon Creech was a very good book. Some parts were sad, others were happy. This book had lots of twists and turns, like one minute it was a boring summer, the next minute the summer was the wildest roller coaster ride of Mary Lou's life.
