Rating: Summary: Creech's Walk Two Moons Review: In the exciting tale of Salmanaca Tree Hiddle, Sharon Creech does an excellent job of portraying the story of this young girl's life. Walk Two Moons is a sincerely touching account of Sal's journey, told in the form of two distinct story lines. Sal's mother leaves her and her father in Bybanks, Kentucky and shortly there after, upon hearing that her mother will not return, Sal's father packs up their belongings and the two move to Euclid, Ohio. Gramps and Grams take Sal on a road trip to go visit her mother, who is in Lewiston, Idaho, for her birthday. On their way, Sal tells them of her adventures with a new friend in Euclid, Phoebe Winterbottom. The two girls act as mini-detectives trying to solve the strange mysteries they encounter together. Between the secret messages left on Phoebe's doorstep, to the lunatic they see in their neighborhood, the girls come to share experiences that impact them in many ways. With stops all along the way, Sal eventually makes it to Lewiston in time for her mother's birthday. Up to this point, Creech leaves many loose ends floating along; finally all the loose ends come together in the end. Sal realizes that through the story of Phoebe, she has learned more about herself and her own story. Sharon Creech is a talented writer who portrays each character in a precise way. I was most impressed with the realistic description of each character and could see them in my head as I read. They were real people who had real problems that I feel most readers could connect with. The structure of the book is such that it keeps the reader interested and guessing what will happen next. There are many twists and turns in plot. Because of that unique structure, the book is one that readers will not want to put down.
Rating: Summary: Walk Two Moons Review: Sharon Creech is my absolute favorite author. I love all of her books, but this is by far my favorite one. The story is about a little indian girl who is taking a trip with her grandparents to visit her mother. While they are driving, she tells the twisted story of Pheobe, her best friend back home.
Rating: Summary: a definetly must read Review: Sharon Creech is one of my favorite authors out there even though I'm a to be senior when school starts in september of 2003. The way she describes the book is amazing. You are suddenly on the car with Sal on her journey to find her mother. You feel her yearnings of wanting to be with her mother, her first kiss with Ben, her close relationship with her grandparents, and fears of moving and growing up. That road trip she takes with her grandparents is more than just finding her mother; it's an analogy to the road of growing up. As corny as that sounds, it's true. The way Creech describes it in her book allows you, the reader, to identify with her characters. This book is definetly well developed and a must read.
Rating: Summary: Salamanca Review: This book is really great. I love reading it. There is a girl name, Salamanca. Her mother died, from a bus accident. Salamanca was going to visit her grandparents.

It turns out that the boy was Mrs.Winterbottom's son. So now they are a family of four.
Rating: Summary: Learn from this book Review: There is no words to describe what a wonderful piece of literature walk two moons is. There is a moral and a lesson i took back from reading this book that every person should learn from. It is one of the beast pieces of literature I have ever read. Although it is a childrens book adults can take a lesson from it as well. All I can say is read it and be ready to be amazed.
Rating: Summary: Walk Two Moons- A Gr-8 book! Review: I think that the book Walk Two Moons is the kind of book that makes you look inside your heart, like Sal did when she told Phoebe's story. If you haven't read the book yet, I strongly recomend it.
Rating: Summary: Good book depending on what you want to get out of it Review: This book, right from the get go, is serious. If you're looking for fun reading, you might want to look elsewhere. The main character is somewhat depressed and in bad straights. Don't pick this up if you're looking for light reading, but if you're interested in a book that actually has a somewhat meaningful, if heavy plot then go right ahead
Rating: Summary: Quite A Book Review: Sharon Creech is a great author, but she really out did herself here. Salamanca Tree Hiddle, more commonly known as Sal is on a long car trip with her grandparents. She is on the car trip to visit her mother who is "resting peacefully" in Lewiston, Idaho. When her grandparents ask her to tell a story, Sal tells the story of Phoebe and the strange events that took place. Sal and her dad have just moved into a small house in a cramped town. Sal's mom has left the two in order to think about things. Sal and her dad miss her so much. Sal meets Phoebe Winterbottom who is in her class at school. The next door neighbor to Sal's new home is a friend of Sal's dad. Her name is Mrs. Cadaver. The woman was one of the main reasons for Sal's dad to move. Sal doesn't like her too much, but her dad spends evenings with her and the two go out together. Phoebe is a strange person, who is scared of strangers and thinks her parents are the happiest people alive. She always defends her parents in front of anyone including Sal. Sal and Phoebe soon become very good friends. Sal finds Phoebe's mom always trying to please her children and her husband, but they never notice or seem to care. One day, a strange man appears at the home of the Winterbottom's. He is very nervous when Phoebe's mom isn't home and goes away. Strange messages start appearing at the Winterbottom's home. One of them reads Don't judge a man until you have walked two moons in his moccasins. Soon Phoebe's mom disappears and Phoebe is going nuts. Phoebe's dad thinks his wife has just gone away for a few days, and tells Phoebe not to think about it. of course, Phoebe does. She even goes so far as to look for clues and call the police. Sal is surrounded by many strange things like having hillbillies for grandparents and having a best friend who is very strange. Sal learns many things, and by the end she has changed. It is great the way Sharon Creech leaves clues along the way that Sal's mom is dead. Of course, she is resting peacefully. Mrs. Cadaver is a friend of Sal's mom, and Sal's dad talks to her because he sees his wife in her. A very sad book in some cases, with a message saying you have to live with what you have. Mrs. Cadaver's mother-in-law was sending the strange notes, because she was bored. The notes taught Sal a lot. Phoebe's mom went away to spend time with her son who was the strange young man. Yes, this is a true classic. One of my all time favorite novels!
