Summary: Walk Two Moons' Touching story
Review: Walk Two Moons' Touching Story
The book Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech tells the story of a young girl, Sal, who deals with the heart-breaking news that her mother wasn't returning after disappearing one morning. Next thing she knew she was moving to the city instead of living on the farm she grew so used to. In the city, her father started seeing a woman named Margret Cadaver. Through most of the story the girl embarks on some interesting adventures with her new friend in the city, Phoebe. Sal, the girl, tells her grandparents a story about her best friend Phoebe whose mother went away for a while, but returned. Sal became desperate about finding her mother and the whole story becomes a race against time to find her.
This intriguing heart-felt story grabs the reader's attention as a young girl searches for her mother in more than one way. Her mother develops her own problems and can't live in a home with her family any more. This creates the conflict in the book when Sal's mother is gone. Sal has no one to really look up to for guidance because she feels betrayed by her father for loving someone else.
Sal's English teacher helps her in a way by having her write journal entries about anything she wants. This helps her put down into words what she's feeling about her mother leaving and how she still has a good life without her. All through the books she is writing these thoughts down and in the end find what it all meant.
The author of Walk Two Moons develops a fascinating story line about a young girl's problem coping with her mother being gone and never coming back to live with her. The book begins at a slow pace but by the second chapter it becomes a realistic story of something that a friend might have gone through. It's a book that has a limited audience that would really enjoy it.
Sharon Creech's book Walk Two Moons tells the story of a young girl who deals with the news that her mother wasn't returning after leaving one morning. Soon after she found out she had to move to the city her dad was now involved with someone new and it was difficult for Sal to deal with. This emotional roller coaster for Sal makes the reader to get more involved in the story. It' s a wonderful book that young adults would find interesting.

(A message to Phoebe is where the title of the book came from "Don't judge a man until you've walked two moons in his moccasins" pg. 58)

Summary: On To Idaho with stories

In this book, Sal tells the story of her best friend Phoebe Winterbottom. Behind Phoebe's story, Sal finds her mother's. When she starts on her journey to Idaho she wants to get there in time for her mother's birthday. When she gets there, she finds out a devastating fact that she has ignored all along. Her mom can't come back. Find out why in the book Walk Two Moons.

I recommend this book to everyone who loves mystery, adventure, comedy, and a lot of love and friendship. In this book I really learned how to feel what the characters felt.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Walk Two Moons, a wonderful Book
Review: I just finished Sharon Chreech's book Walk Two Moons and it was wonderful. All the characters are so developed and it has a wonderful moral; appreciate things while you have them. The ending is a complete surprise with something that will change the main character's life. I do admit there are some very sad parts. So if you like adventure with some twists read Walk Two Moons.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Walk Two Moons
Review: This book was very intresting. once you started to read it you didn't want to put it down. I also liked how Sharon Creech selected wonderful words. If you like mysteries this is a great book. When you first read the title you are confused about what it means then you figure it out in the middle of the book. In the book it says that Sal's story lies behind Phoebe's which also you find out at the end. If you read it i promise you will like it.

Summary: Walk Two Moons
Review: I really enjoyed this book. Sharon Creech uses a gread choice of words that describe each chapter very well. Her choice of characters and setting are really great for younger people. She makes the book so unique by adding one story to another. Sharon kind of bends a mystery with just a plain story all in one.

The best part of the book would probaly have been in the middle. I think that because the middle is when she began to combine two stories in to one.

The most vivid story elements were proably the setting and the characters. The setting was just so vividly described. As you read the book you just felt like you were there. Her description of the characters were just the same. You feel as if you are part of the story.

Summary: Walk Two Moons
Review: Walk two moons

Sal is a girl that is thirteen years old. Her mother is missing and she tries to find her. While driving from Bybanks Kentucky to Lewiston Idaho with gram and gramps, Sal told stories. They stopped many places and saw Old Faithful. There are many characters. They are Sal, Ben, Phoebe, Gram, Gramps, Mrs. Cadaver, Mary Lou, Mr. Bikeway, Tommy, Maggie, Doggie, Dennis, Huzza Huzza and Blackberry.
Walk Two Moons is actually two books in one. One story is about Sal, and the other is about her friend Phoebe. One day Phoebe looks for her mom, who is missing. Later Phoebe finds a lunatic and her mom. Phoebe and Sal see Phoebe's mom kissing the lunatic. When Phoebe and Sal goes back to Phoebe's house her mother calls and said she is coming home with some one.
Walk Two Moons is a good book. I would give this a 4 out of 5 stars. Often it is sad, happy, scary, crazy, and exciting. There are also a lot of fun mysteries in the book. Sometimes it's confusing because there are a lot of characters. I would recommend this book to 10 to 14-year-olds.

Summary: Walk Two Moons
Review: Walk Two Moons is about a girl named Sal and a girl named Pheobe Their both moms have left them and Sal and Phoebe both decide to go and try to find them. Sal is going to look for her mom with her grandma and grandpa. Sal's mother is missing so they move to a different town with her father. One day at her new school she meets a girl named Phoebe. After a while thy both became really good friends. After school one day they both find out that her mom is missing.

I'm giving this story 4 out of five stars because it was fun to read and there were lots of excitement. The bad stuff about it was too long of a book. Their are too many people dying in the story, some times when its excitement it becomes not that exciting. After all it's still a good book.

Summary: Walk Two Moons By Sharon Creech
Review: Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech is about a 13 year old girl named

Sal. She wants to find her mother in time for her mother's birthday.

Sal's gram and gramps are driving from Euclid, Ohio to Lewiston, Idaho

where her mom is. Sal has 13 days to get to her destination. Along the way

there are some stops and some stops are major in the story.

While Sal is in the car, she is telling a story about a girl named Phoebe.

She also has somewhat the same problems as Sal. Both mothers run off, but

Phoebe has a lunatic on her tail. Along the way Phoebe gets four messages that

give here clues to where her mother is. There are other characters in the story,

including Mary Lou, Ben, Dave, and Dougie.

I gave Walk Two Moons 4 out of 5 stars because it was a good book but it

would skip from story to story and sometimes it would stay in one story and it

was hard to follow. At they end you would have to remember all of the beginning

just so you can understand the end. So that's why I gave this book 4 out of 5

stars. I still recommend this book for people ages five to adult. There is one

thing you need to consider when you read this book, which is that this book has

280 pages. When I read this book I liked it you could say this book is actually

2 stories in one. So it's double the fun.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Walk Two Moons
Review: Walk Two Moons is actually two books in one. The first book is about a 13-year-old girl named Sal. She goes on a trip with her grandparents to find her missing mother. They have a lot of obstacles to over come. They have 13 days to get to Lewiston for her mom's birthday.
Sal entertained her grandparents by telling them Phoebe's story. Phoebe's story is about a lunatic. Then her mom runs away. Phoebe gets scared because she finds notes at her door. Then she goes to the park and she sees...

I did not like it that much because there were so many characters. Another reason is there was such a big build up you knew what was going to happen. It was to confusing with all that was going on. It started out way too slow and that made it to boring. I would not recommend Walk Two Moons and I would only give it 3 out of 5 stars.

Rating: 5 stars
