Absolutely+Normal+Chaos



"Mary Lou Finney is less than excited about her assignment to keep a journal ove the summer. Boring! Then cousin Carl Ray comes to stay with her family and what starts out as the dull dog days of summer quickly turns into the wildest roller coaster ride of all time. How was Mary Lou supposed to know what would happen with Carl Ray and the ring? Or with her boy-crazy best friend Beth Ann? Or with (sigh) the permanently pink Alex Cheevey? Suddenly a boring school project becomes a record of the most exciting, incredible, and unbelievable summer of Mary Lou's life. But what if her teacher actually does read her journal?"
