1^st paragraph

The Novel "Walk Two Moons" is written by Sharon Creech, is about a thirteen-year-old girl named Salamanca Tree Hiddle. Her mother named her after an Indian tribe which her great-great-grandmother belonged too.  Most people called her Sal. She is determined to find her mother who left for Idaho and did not return.  Traveling from Ohio to Idaho with her grandparents, in search of her lost mother, Sal starts telling the story about Phoebe Winterbottom, who met a potential lunatic, received mysterious messages, and lost his mom. Beneath the story that Sal told, on the way to Idaho, is that her mom left to go to Idaho and hasn't returned. During the trip Sal had to drive her grandfather's car up a mountain. Her grandfather had to take care of her grandmother. Behind her, was a sheriff. The sheriff pulled her over and took her where her mom was. The sheriff told Sal that her mom was found dead on the mountain due to a bus crash. Then later that day Gramps wrote a note telling Sal where the motel was he was staying at. He told her that her grandmother had passed away at three o' clock in the morning. This was so sad for Sal. Sal and her grandfather flew back to Bybanks Kentucky where they lived on the farm. That is where they buried her grandmothers body in Aspen Grove where her grandparents were married.

2^nd paragraph   

 Some of the things I liked about the book is the mystery of the disappearance of Sal's mother. I enjoyed reading about their road trip as Sal and her grandparents went looking for Sal's mother. The story told about Phoebe Winterbottom meeting a potential lunatic, which was scary and then finding the mysterious messages sent to them. The mysterious message said, " Don't judge a man until you've walked two moons in his moccasins". This related to the Phoebe story as well.Both of their mothers passed away. I didn't like the ending of the book because they found out that Sal's mom past away.  It got even sadder when Sal received a note saying where her grandpa was and that her grandma died at three o' clock in the morning. I related to this because my grandma is slowly dying from Alzheimers disease. Everyday I think what will happen to my grandma. I recommend this book, if you are into mystery and adventure, overall I do recommend the book for everyone.
