Sharon Creech ABSOLUTELY NORMAL CHAOS

For Karin and Rob Leuthy

and all our Creeches

Dear Mr. Birkway,

Here it is: my summer journal. As you can see, I got a little carried away.

The problem is this, though. I don’t want you to read it.

I really mean it. I just wanted you to know I did it. I didn’t want you to think I was one of those kids who says, “Oh yeah, I did it, but I lost it/my dog ate it/my little brother dropped it in the toilet.”

But please PLEEEASSSE DON’T READ IT! How was I to know all this stuff was going to happen this summer? How was I to know Carl Ray would come to town and turn everything into an odyssey? And how was I to know about Alex…? Sigh.

PLEASE DON’T READ IT. I mean it.

Sincerely

Mary Lou Finney
