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.

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.
Amazing review and summary! I am usually not very interested in mystery novels but this one seems very interesting. Thank you for writing this well constructed summary about a book that I may now potentially read.
