Help me find a young adult fiction book
I read this in the early 2000s and I think it was published in the 80s. Only some details of this book stick out to me.
It involves a young girl who sister recently passed away. She takes some of her ashes and buries them in the front yard. She keeps talking about Willow Street and wanting to go back there. Her best friend (who I think is named Chloe but I could be really wrong) is starting to become too cool for her and more obsessed with her boyfriend. Her grandmother has a small dog named Porky. There is a scene in which the best friend calls the grandmother racist. On the cover it shows the protagonist confused looking at the best friend who is in kind of a dream like state.
