"This story began as a follow-up to Absolutely Normal Chaos. In that book, Mary Lou Finney writes a summer journal, and as I began Walk Two Moons, I was merely speculating about what might happen when she turned in that summer journal to her English teacher. " - Sharon Creech

  1. Walk Two Moons made me sob like a baby along with all of the girls in my class. Like red eyed,mascara running, rudolph nose kind of sobbing! :)

    A very touching book!
