This outstanding Newbery Honor book is about a Indian girl named Salamanca Tree Hill. Her mother,known as Sugar, has left Salamanca and her father. Watch, as Salamanca and her grandparents go on a journey to search for Sal's mother. Going with Sal's grandparents was not all Sal's plan, but how else is she supposed to find her mother? Sal travels from Ohio to Idaho for her mother's birthday. Will she make it on time? To keep her grandparents busy Sal tells them a story about Phoebe Winterbottem, a girl who believes that anything can happen. Read this book and find out what happens to Sal and her grandparents on their journey. I recommend this book for 4th graders and up. This book is complex because there are two stories going on at once.Book Review: A Great Book for Everyone!

Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a beautiful story about an amazing girl. It is a multitude of stories woven into one another. The first time I read this book I was thirteen and I laughed and cried as I read it. Now I am sixteen and I read the book again recently. It didn't hit me as hard, but it still moved me. You don't have to have tragedy going on in your life to understand Salamanca (the main character), especially if you're just starting your teen years. You see, Walk Two Moons is about growing up. It's about leaving the fairy world that you live in and beginning to understand things about the world that are difficult to accept. Salamanca is being forced out of the safety, and blind contentment of childhood. We all go through it. For her, it was the disappearance of her mother. Maybe for us it was something smaller and more trivial. Either way, the idea is the same.It's a very real story. It doesn't paint women as people who always do right and are perfect. I'm glad it doesn't! Sharon Creech has created some fascinating, wonderfully flawed women who have made mistakes, and experienced hard times, but are still good people. And Salamanca Tree Hiddle, our main character, is a truly insipiring, intelligent, interesting, and amazing girl. Reading this a sixteen year old I realized what a well written, engaging story Walk Two Moons is. However, at a younger age, the story did something more meaningful. It made me realize that there were people out ther feeling, on some level, the things that I was feeling. I recommend this for 12, 13, 14 year olds. It may mean the most to them. But it is a terrific story, and I'm sure entertaining for people of many ages.
Book Review: A Great Book with a Great Story
