Rating: Summary: Good Book!!!!! Review: Walk Two Moons is a very good book. I read it a week ago. The reason I picked up this book is because it has an odd title. Thirteen-year-old Salamanca Tree Hiddles' mother disappeared a few years ago. Sals' dad goes looking for her mom and comes back. He starts acting weird. A few years later Sal goes looking for her mom. I am a lot like her-not that my mother disappeared or anything, but, I am almost as old as her and I can feel all of her emotions. If you are interested in young people going on big adventures, then read this book.
Rating: Summary: Disturbing, but worth reading if your child is mature enough Review: This wonderful book outshines Creech's later work. The book has many disturbing elements -- a missing parent who turns out to be dead, for example (to give away the plot) -- but it's tastefully and beautifully written. I can't recommend it highly enough, just as I can't recommend strongly enough that your child be emotionally ready to read the material.
Rating: Summary: BEST BOOK EVER!!!! Review: A must read for kids 9-16, advanced readers especially. About death and love, loss and caring, destiny and faith, and lots of sadness. If you get nightmares easily, this is not a great book for you. But an amazing book. A must-read.
Rating: Summary: Weird, but some how interesting Review: Okay, if you are looking for one of those drop dead books...dont read this. No offense to Sharon Creech, becuase I love her books like the Wanderer, but this book was weird. The character in the book never showed much emotion and I think it was a bit boring. not only that but confusing. The lunatic person was just weird becuase the book never said nothing much about her after they found out who it was. Maybe i'm being negative but i wouldn't want to recomend it if I didn't like it that much.
Rating: Summary: i love this book Review: I really truly love this book. Everyone i have talked to loves it, and I have read it multiple times. Its about a girl named Salmanca Tree Hiddle, and with a name like that, you know she has to be strange. Or at least thats what you would think. Shes just lost her mother(she isnt missing as some others say) as in her moms just died, and for the first time shes goin to see her grave. the long trip from ohio to idaho is consumed by telling Grams and Gramps the story of her friend, Phoebe, while at the same time Sal is coming to find herself also. I would recommend this book to the world. its more or a girl book though, with a easy reading level, but a lot of words.
Rating: Summary: Amazing Review: In Sharon Creech's "Walk Two Moons", the main character Salamanca Hiddle is truly unique. She travels across the country with her grandparents, to visit the Badlands, an Indian reserve, and even find out where her mother is. Salamanca tells her ornery grandparents stories of moving away from the family farm in Kentucky, her dad's new friend (who is a girl), school, and her weird neighbors, and her friend who supposedly has the "perfect" family. Along the way, Salamanca (Sal) faces many challenges, and finds out where her mother is. The ending to this book is great, and you truly love every character that there is.
Rating: Summary: Sentimental journey Review: This is a beautifully narrated journey to find closure after a young girl's mother leaves her. Unique and quirky characters contribute to the reader's enjoyment. The writing style is simple description, so all readers will have no difficulty reading chapter after chapter at one sitting. This is the perfect book to spark a discussion about loss.
Rating: Summary: a really great book Review: I thought that this book was great it was a cliffhanger and I never wanted to put it down. It tells the story of a 13 year old girl who has to move to a different state and has to make new friends. But during that move she take memories of her mother with her and will never forget them or leave them behind. This was andventurous book and thats one of the reasons that I enjoyed it so much I would recommend it to all book lovers.
Rating: Summary: Huzza Huzza !! Review: I fell in love with this book since I first read it. Walk two moons is really an amazing and heartwarming story. You'll love every characters in this book. It's filled with every emotion , funny, sadness, love,friendship and family. I laughed and laughed and also I cry while reading this book. But the best thing about Walk two moons is that it encouraged me to think about things I've never thought of before. Reading this book gave me such a deep and profound feeling about our lifes, the meaning of family and hope. What really impress me is that these things come to me through simple and beautiful narrative ... which is so charming.
Rating: Summary: The best book ever! Review: I loved this book, it was a great mix of love and advendure. I read this book with in 2 weeks. I think this is a good book for girls (or boys) from 8-13. It is like 250 pages, but I the words are very BIG! IN this book they talk about Sam (girl) as she looks for her mom on a trip with her grandparents. She tells the story of her friend Phoepe and how her life went at home, to her grandparents. This book is hard to put down! It would make a great gift and would put a smile on someones face. Love, Someone!
