I remember when I got this book in my Easter basket two years ago. I picked it up, and didn't stop reading until I was finished. Since then I've read it about 65 times, and I still read it almost every day. "Absolutely Normal Chaos" led me to read "The Odyssey," which is another one of my favourites, and I've also taken up Mary Lou's expressions such as Omnipotent, cabbageheaded and all that other sum and substance. It is also my inspiration for journaling. I recommend "Absolutely Normal" to absolutely everyone I meet. And they all tell me I'm exactly like Mary Lou... har har har. Anyway, I guess I should go ahead and review the book.
Absolutely Normal Chaos is about a 13-year-old girl named Mary Lou Finney who is assigned by her English teacher, Mrs. Zollar, to keep a journal over the summer. Mary Lou has no idea what a journal really is, so she decides to just write away and hope she's doing it right. Over the summer, Mary Lou's cousin, Carl Ray, comes to stay with her family. She also becomes involved with Alex Cheevey, a boy from school. What happens next is an odyssey in itself, and I don't want to give away the ending to this wonderful book.
For my final sentence, two words: READ IT!

Growing up can have a harsh reality when taking responsibility of an animal. It is not always fun and games it is very hard and frustrating work. For a young person that is a very big responsibility to know that the life of this animal is in your hands.
Bobby Joe is a teenage girl with a heart for barrel racing. She had saved her money for years for that great horse. Then Bobby Joe's parents let her go to her first horse sell by herself. She came home with a beaten up old mare and $690 short. At the horse sell Bobby Joe had to ask Cole for so money. Cole is this boy that she does not like. He work at the horse sell and he was the only person there she knew so she had to ask him for the money, which she did not like. When at home she set her mind to have a barrel racing horse by the end of summer.
Things were going good through the summer with the horse and she was going to go to the barrel races. Her and Cole had become good friends and were always together, but then one-day things started going wrong. Then she finds out that the horse show is in a few weeks. What is she going to do and will she be able to go?
Taking the responsibility of buying and raising a horse is a big thing. When taking the responsibility of owning a horse and the things that can happen will make you grow up and face reality.
This is a great book to read. Anyone that likes horse will love this book and will not want to put it down. Even if you don not horse this book will show you the love people have for their animals.
