Summary: A Book of Friendship and Mystery
Review: Walk Two Moons, a fairly new book written by Sharon Creech is sure to be loved by everyone who reads this marvelous book: One day, in Bybanks, Kentucky, Salamanca Tree Hiddle's (or Sal's)mother leaves the family for a "Little While," when Salamanca's father "Plucked me up like a weed," and together, they drove 300 miles north to a small town called Euclid, Ohio. Soon Salamanca and her father recieve the shocking news that Sal's mother will not be returning from the small town of Lewiston, Idaho. Soon Sal meets a friend in Euclid named Phoebe. This abnormal child soon finds out that something very serious has happened in her family. So what is it? What Happens in Phoebe's family? Will Sal ever see her mother again? This book is very differnt that any other book that you will ever read because of the use of charcter. Sharon Creech describes the characters in this book so well- it was as if you could go to the top of your stairwell, and that same exact person would be sitting in your living room. The author would always add a little zest to the different charcters or scenes also, as she added a little humor there, a little drama there, sometimes even a little bit of both! It's hard to find weaknesses in this book . I think that anyone who reads this book front to back will find only the different strengths that Sharon Creech has, and hardly any weaknesses. This amazing story of Phoebe's is told by Salamanca in the car with her wacky and hillarious grandparents on an adventure of it's own, driving from Ohio to Idaho as Sal and her grandparents try to capture Sal's mother back.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sal's story spoke to my heart.
Review: Creech's tale is well developed and written. The style seemed very much like the thoughts and voice of a 13 year old. Because I knew I was reading from Sal's point of view, I found her interpretation of the world believable. Just like Sal, I was in denial of her mother's demise. I would not admit to myself the fate of Chanhassen until Sal saw her grave. Creech did an excelent job of not admitting to the mother's fate and showing Sal's sense of denial. I believe that if Creech had revieled her fate earlier on, she would have lost one of the most effectivly shown characteristics of Sal. The situation with the Winterbottoms reminded me of a passage from Reviving Ophelia: the father is often remembered for what he does right, the mother for what she does wrong. This is a beautiful tale.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: It was an endless maze, always kept me guessing.
Review: It was very well written, and Salamanda Hiddle was a combination of practically every singlre worry I've ever excpeirenced. She also had sme of my joy in her. And the quest for her mother on the car, while telling her grandparents about her short stay in thre city was a very unusual setting. It's the third best book I've ever read.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Enthralling
Review: Walk Two Moons is a wonderfully enthralling book. It is brilliantly written and keeps you captivated for hours on end.This story will make you feel just as if you are in that "Gol' Dang" back seat with Sal right on through Burbanks,Kentucky all the way to Lewiston,Idaho.If you are looking for a page turner I strongly suggest this book of familys to lunatics and of course Phoebe and Sal.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excellent young teen reading
Review: As a teacher, I found this to be a well written, "keep you on the edge with a twist at the end" book. As a mother, I was thrilled to find a book that would spark my daughter's interest in reading. This was the first book that took her less than a week to read! It also ended up being a conversation starter between the two of us on issues that are often hard to broach. It's the story of a 13 year old girl's journey to find her mother who had left on a journey to find herself and not returned. She goes with her grandparent's on this journey, telling them a story of her friend and in the process tells hers. A tale of a 13 year old where all is either right or wrong. But beware for everything is not always what it seems which both she and the reader learn.
