Walk Two Moons. A Newbery Award Winner

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. As two stories converge on one cross-country journey, Sal must confront her own past.
But can she find her mother-and herself-before it's too late? An Unforgettable Road Trip: Join Sal and her hilarious, loving, and utterly unpredictable grandparents on a cross-country journey from Ohio to Idaho to find her missing mother. Two Interwoven Stories: As Sal tells the tale of her friend Phoebe Winterbottom-a girl tangled in a mystery of her own-she begins to unravel the truth about her own family.
Rich Native American Heritage: A beautifully told story about a girl proud of the "Indian-ness in her blood" and the wisdom passed down through generations. A Story of Grief and Hope: This powerful and deeply moving classic explores family, loss, and the courage it takes to walk in another person's moccasins.
