Rating: Summary: Number One Newbery Award Book Review: This summer my goal is to read all the Newbery Award books. When I had to read Walk Two Moons, my first impression was that it would be about Native Americans. But it really is not. When Sal's mother disappears she thinks it's the end of the world. It didn't help that she thought her father was seeing someone else either. She tells this wonderful story while her grandparents are taking her to see her mother. This was the first book by Sharon Creech I had read. I do not know how she writes so magnificent. She mixes every kind of emotion smmothly into this story. It also has mystery, humor and suspense. I could not put this book down. This book deserves 5 Newbery Awards. Please read this wonderfully written book
Rating: Summary: This is the very best book I ever read! Review: Walk Two Moons is my all-time favorite book. It has a rare combination of humor, mystery, adventure, and sentimentality that make reading it a real experience-an experience that I never get tired of.The book, in reality, is two stories: The first (the emotional and mysterious one) being that of 13-year-old Salamanca Tree Hiddle (Sal) and the turbulent times after her beloved mother leaves her. The second story (the one with the humor, aventure, and more mystery) is one Sal is telling her grandparents on a car trip from Ohio to Idaho, where Sal hopes to find her mother. It is the story of Phoebe Winterbottom, Sal's best friend, Phoebe's mother (who also disappeared), and Phoebe's wild imagination. The transitions between these stories are handled surprisingly well; where most authors would have trouble avoiding clumsy jumps between plots, Ms. Creech has laced them together to the point that one could almost not exist without the other. As it turns out, these two stories are woven together in more ways than one, and the knowledge Sal draws from them, her grandparents, her trip, and herself, finally give her the strength to face the truth about her mother. I would recommend this book to anyone, and after reading it I passed it on to my best friend and mother, both of whom adored it. To miss this book would be a tragedy
Rating: Summary: A girl and her grandparents take a trip to find her mother Review: This is the greatest book I have ever read in my entire life. The way Creech described everything- from the house, to the swimming hole, to her grandparents, to her mother, to her school, to her- was incredible. Not many authors can do what she can. Sure, many can write, but not like this. The wild adjectives, the vivid verbs, and the speech. This book captured me, and swallowed me in. I really thought I was in a car trapped between crazy grandparents. She would flip and toss the right ingredients, or words, in the griddle we call a book, so they tasted not bitter, sweet, sour, or salty, but just the right amount of all. Then she sprinkled with a georgous cover, and served. My compliments to the chef, Mrs. Creech
Rating: Summary: The best book I've ever read! Review: This was my favorite book I've ever read. I love Sharon Creech's books. This one is particulary good. The suspence of Sal's Mother dissaperence, and then Phoebe's mother's dissaperence. I read this book in fifth grade and I keep re-reading it
Rating: Summary: My 9 year-old daughter and I read this book; she says: Review: Walk Two Moons is a wonderful story by Sharon Creech. Sharon Creech has also written two other books, and they are Pleasing the Ghost and Absolutely Normal Chaos.
Walk Two Moons is a story about a girl named Salamanca Tree Hiddle who lives in Baybanks, Kentucky. Everything is fine with the plants and animals everywhere. One day, her mother moves away to Idaho. Then Sal's father plucks her up like a weed and drags her 100 miles north, stopping at Euclid, Ohio. Sal ends up going on a trip with her grandparents (who got arrested on their last trip) to see her mother in Idaho.
"Spin us a story," her grandfather says to her. So Sal tells her grandparents a story about a friend and a "lunatic" who is not a lunatic at all! As Sal tells this story, she slowly reveals the story of her life. When she gets to Idaho, she discovers that an awful secret is true. Then something very bad happens. I think that Walk Two Moons is sad, funny, happy, and wonderful at the same time! I felt like I was having the same experience as Sal as I read this book.
