Publisher Description

In her own singularly beautiful style, Newbery Medal winner Sharon Creech intricately weaves together two tales, one funny, one bittersweet, to create a heartwarming, compelling, and utterly moving story of love, loss, and the complexity of human emotion.

Thirteen-year-old Salamanca Tree Hiddle, proud of her country roots and the "Indian-ness in her blood," travels from Ohio to Idaho with her eccentric grandparents. Along the way, she tells them of the story of Phoebe Winterbottom, who received mysterious messages, who met a "potential lunatic," and whose mother disappeared.

As Sal entertains her grandparents with Phoebe's outrageous story, her own story begins to unfold—the story of a thirteen-year-old girl whose only wish is to be reunited with her missing mother.

"I though this book was great. It had lots of thought provoking things. I read this book as a class assignment and fell in love! I loved the POV from Sal. I though Phobe was a great character and loved the winter bottom family on general! Would recommend to ANYONE! I loved everything about this book. Spoiler Alert: The End will make you cry! ( I did)"

    " My mom read this book to me when I was younger, and I have returned to it countless times over the years as a source of comfort and escape. Walk Two Moons has rightfully earned its spot as one of my favorite books, and continues to make me cry almost every time I read it. To me, it's a classic! "

    " Sharon Creech may just be my new favorite children's author. Her characters are lovely, flawed, and real. I'm always on the lookout for good books for my kids. Jack will have to skip this one for now because it would be too sad for him, but I think someday he'll really like it. Elise may get to it first! "

    " I liked this book because it had lots of loss and happiness mixed together to create a great story. (Im sorry if I give horrible reviews) The main character's friend's family recieves letters from a lunatic (or so they thought). Will they ever figure out who it is? "

    " Slow going at first, but a suprise ending. You can use this book to teach about predicting, but my guess is the students will be wrong. It's a good book that addresses kids with absent mothers, and the questions they have that may never be answered. "
