Summary: Walk Two Moons Review
Review: I thought this book was very strange. A person who likes fantasy or sci-fi books might not enjoy it as much as someone who reads realistic fiction books. A person like me will pick up this book with an intention of putting it down soon and find that they can't. It is if a magic force is glueing your eyes to the page. It's like this with Sharon Creech's books. The part I liked about this book was when the main character tells about her english teacher.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You will probably never read a book as fab as this. NEVER!!!
Review: I read this book on my own when I was 7. I have read it 20+ times now. I'm not even kidding. You must buy this book, or at the very least have a friend lend it to you or get it out of the library. The reviewers that gave this book less than four stars obviously didn't know what they were talking about. This is the BEST book I have ever read. There are no words to describe this book. It is too good for words. It is tricky to put this book down!! Thank you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Walk Two Moons
Review: Walk Two Moons is about 13-year-old Salamanca Tree Hiddle, better known as Sal. She and her father have moved to Euclid, Ohio, from Bybanks, Kentucky after Sal's mother left them. Sal is upset because Euclid is completely different from what she is used to. In the book, Sal's grandparents take her on a roadtrip all the way to Lewiston, Idaho. On the trip, Sal tells the story of her friend Phoebe Winterbottom, Phoebe's disappearing mother, and the lunatic. This book is very good, although at times it was confusing. The ending was surprising. I would reccomend this book to anyone because it doesn't take long to read and it's good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Walk Two Moons
Review: This is definitely one of the best books I have ever read. I think Sharon Creech did a good job in transisions, detail, and keeping the story in first person. Between "The Lunitic",
Mary Lou's family, and Sal, this book comes out in a strange but exciting way.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SAD BUT HAPPY CLASSIC
Review: The story of Salamenca (Sal) and Phoebe is heartwarming. It was one of my favorite books a few years ago. I reccomend it to people of all ages though.

Sal is going on a road trip with her grandparents to try to rescue her mother and bring her back home. Along the way, Sal recounts the strange story of her friend back home, Phoebe. Phoebe is a precocious 8th grader who is convinced of the worst. Sal recounts several memories with her friend, including a run-in with a "physco", dinner with Mary-Lou and her huge, hectic family and the dissapearence of Phoebe's mother. Underneath Phoebe's story, Sal sees her own story. Sal's mother left with a note saying she was going to Idaho to find herself. After Sal's mother left, her father got out his hammer and hammered away one of their walls. The next morning, when Sal awoke, she found her father and underneath the wall he had just hammered away, was a brick one. Sal compares the wall to herself. Underneath Phoebe's story is her own.

This a GREAT story and one of my personal favorites. It appeals to all ages, and the themes will last forever in the heart of the reader.

Summary: oh give me a break
Review: this book was too slow. and i thought that sal was idiotic. think, she runs away from a pregnant woman who comes to sit on her grandparent's blanket because she is afraid of them,but she (a 13 year old) can drive a car for 4 hours on deadly roads on cliffs in the rockies.Sal cant seem to get over her mother, it's been over a year or so and she still thinks her dead mother is going to some up to her house and say "oh i am home and im never leaving again, i devout my life to you, please can you ever forgive me for straightening out my life???"
lets move on with other characters.
PHEOBE. what a jerk.We had to read this book for class and 85%
of the 7th and 8th grade said pheobe should've been the one who died, not gram.All she can ever think about is herself.And she is way too defensive. here are some quotes
" I dont eat any food with COLESTEROL in it"(this is when she was at the finny's for dinner)
"I'm too fat! you dont care about me!!!"(she SCREAMED that at her mother)
Pheobe is not an exciting character at all.I ended up hating her by the early-middle of the book.

GRAM & GRAMPS:all sal can say about them is that they are wild and unruly.like teens. but you never see them do anything wild. unless you count wading in lake michigan. ohh wow exciting

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Walk Two Moons
Review: This book is a wonderful story of a child that faces the lost of her mother. She explores the trials and tribulations of moving to a new house and going to a new school where she meets a wonderful friend names Pheobe. Through Pheobe she sees alot of herself. She takes a trip across the country where she visits her mother;s grave as well as dealing with the loss of her grandmother. In my opionin alot of points are made throughout the book that apply to everyday life. My son loved this book so much. He told me that it made him realize how good he had it. That in itself is priceless. It is very entertaining and hard to put down. I highly recommend this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Touching Story
Review: The life of Salamanca Tree Hiddle - also known as Sal - is suddenly turned upside-down when her mother takes a "little trip" north. On the way to visit her with her Grandparents, she tells them a story about Phoebe.. while discovering the story of her own past.

I think I enjoyed this book more when I first read it at eight than when I re-read it this year as a required reading book. However, I still think of it as one of my favorite childhood books and would recommend it to others, although I enjoyed some on Creech's other books (Bloomability, The Wanderer) more.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Walk Two Moons a review by Christine
Review: I love the Newbery award-winning book Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech, and it's one of my favorites. On the way to Idaho to find Sal's wonderful missing mother. Sal starts a story about her friend Phoebe Winterbottom, her mother who disappeared , and an awesome adventure these girls won't ever forget. This story is exciting, dangerous, saddening, and much more!
Sal's mother, whose nickname is Sugar, left her and her father and went to Idaho to sort things out. Sal missed her all the time and kept everything of her mom's. She was convinced her mother would someday return and their routine would go on like usual again. Sal and her father moved to Ohio because everything on their farm in Kentucky reminded them of their precious Sugar. There, Sal makes friends with Phoebe and gets dragged through all her crazy problems.
On the trip, Sal's grandmother has a stroke and goes to the hospital. Her grandpa gives her money and the car keys knowing what Sal had to do. Even though she was only thirteen, she knew how to drive because her grandpa taught her with his truck. She had to get to Idaho and finally retrieve her amazing Sugar. Sal makes it dangerously to a rest stop, and there she finds the secret of what happened to her mother. Now I leave you with the fate of Sal's mother and grandmother.
I encourage anyone who hasn't read this book, to read it. I guarantee you won't want to put it down until you find what happens next. I have read this book many times and still enjoy it. Sharon Creech, the author, has written many other books, too. If you liked Walk Two Moons, try reading these other books: Absolutely Normal Chaos, The Wanderer, Pleasing the Ghost, Chasing Redbird, and Bloomability.
