Walk Two Moons/Apsolutely Normal Chaos

Both books are written by Sharon Creech. And Sharon Creech she likes to kill people in almost all of her books.  You want to read these two books one right after the other, because one helps you understand the other.  One thing about the books is they have dating in them.  I really don't like that.  The description is very  nice.  And in Absolutely Normal Chaos it gives a book review of another book.  Wow!  They are both really nice but I have to say otherwise about the dating.
