Summary: Excellent Book--NOT Native American
Review: This book is wonderfully crafted. The narrative levels keep the reader going, and as Sal tells Phoebe's story, you start to see Sal's own story unfold. The book is well worth reading. That being said, don't be misled by the labeling of this book as Native American. It it NOT a Native American book. In fact the Native American element is the only flaw I can really see in an otherwise stellar novel. The Native content (from the title of the book onward) is quite stereotypical.

Summary: Great Book!!
Review: I got this book for a present from my aunt and I thought it was going to be stupid so I didn't read it. Well I finally picked it up and started reading it and I couln't put it down. This book is funny but it's also serious. It has good times and bad times in this book, like what people deal with everyday. It made me cry at some parts and it seemed very real. I hope you read this book because I enjoyed and I know you will.

Summary: A Book That Takes 13 Year-Olds Seriously
Review: An amazing book. I first read it in English Class (seventh grade) and when the teacher, Mrs. Urso said we were reading this I thought it would be dumb and uninteresting. To my surprise the book took thirteen year-olds seriously. I found Salamanca's character intriguing and atrractive, I found Ben's character quirky and (though you may not believe it) a lot like me. All and all one of my favorite books. And take this review from a teenager who has read Alice and Wonderland one and two, Dune, Shogun, Tai-Pan, The Princess and the Goblins, The Secret Garden, and Don Quoxite.

Summary: A Great Book
Review: 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.

Summary: Walk Two Moons Book Review
Review: Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech is an excellent book for young adults. It is also a 1997 Newbery award winner and can proudly defend and own such an honor. The story touches upon different issues that thirteen-year old, Salamanca Tree is feeling. The story takes place in her world where she is dealing with not only the abandonment of her mother who leaves her and her father and flees to Idaho, but also the adjustment of moving to a new town where she has to leave her familiar surroundings of Bybank, Kentucky. In Salamanca's world, she is attempting to remain strong during a time where she feels most insecure. The story takes place as she is on her way, to go see her mother in Idaho with her two grandparents. Salamanca hopes to see her mother before her birthday and take her back home to the life she and her family shared before. As they are taking the road trip, she begins to tell her grandparents stories about her friend Pheobe. Pheobe is ironically in the same predicament as Salamanca because her mother leaves at some point during the story too. It is at this point, the audience is really able to understand what Salamanca is feeling but not eternally expressing. Thus, beneath Pheobe's story is Salamanca's story of her own mother and the feelings, similar to Pheobe's that she is dealing with. The story also opens up a new component to the problem. Pheobe is feeling guilty about her mother because when her mother was nine months pregnant, one day Pheobe fell in a ravine and her mother had to carry her out. Unfortunately, the baby was born stillborn so Salamanca is also struggling with issues of guilt, of feeling like it is her fault that her mother lost the baby and then decided to leave. Although, these are strong issues, author, Sharon Creech does an excellent job intertwining them into the core of the story. The core of the story reflects the innocence of youth as two girls are emerging into their teen years. The story also illustrates the meaningful family ties between grandparents and their grandchildren. Salamanca's grandparents, Grams and Gramps add humor and life to the story in their own comical, charming way. Walk Two Moons portrays the sentiments that make us human, in an awesome way, and even depicts such emotion through poignant symbolism. As the title elicits, "Don't judge a man, until you have walked two moons in his moccasins". As Salamanca ventures on the quest for her mother and back, she learns to accept the unacceptable as she walk two moons in her mother's moccasins while at the same time letting go of the initial guilt she felt before she went on the quest for her mother. Ultimately she is able to come to the realization that her mother loved her and will always love her even if they are divided physically yet connected by spirit.

Summary: Here's a Good Book!
Review: I read this book, and I loved it. I like Salamanca, because she's a girl, a real girl, who thinks like a girl, and does stuff like a real life girl. I love the grandparents! They are halarious! ( :-) ) One of the things I didn't like, however, maybe the only thing, was that at some parts it was sad. Like it got your hopes up, then threw you down. I recomend this book to anyone who enjoys reading, for the fun of it. Huzza, Huzza!

Summary: Beth's Book Reveiw
Review: The title of my book is Walk Two Moons. I like this book because it is suspensful and it keeps you glued to the pages until the very last one. A lot of things happen to Sal in her story that she tells her grandparents. Their interest in her story makes you interested, too. I think the best part of this book is when you find out that the lunitic in the story is Sal's best friend's mother's son. I like this part because that's when the whole secret about Phoebe's mother comes out. I think that the climax and the resolution are the most vivid elements of the story. In the climax you find out that Sal's mother was killed in a bus accident on the way to Idaho and Sal's grandmother dies. In the resolution Sal and her dad move back to Bybanks and all her friends come to visit. This was a very good book. I encourage you to read it.
