Walk Two Moons By Sharon Creech
Price:$6.00+ S.H.
"How about a story? Spin us a yarn."
Instantly, Phoebe Winterbottom came to mind. "I could tell you an extensively strange story," I warned.
"Oh, good!" Gram said. "Delicious!"
And that is how I happened to tell them about Phoebe, her disappearing mother, and the lunatic.
As Sal entertains her grandparents with Phoebe's outrageous story, her own story begins to unfold-- the story of a thirteen-year-old whose only wish is to be reunited with her missing mother.
In her own award-winning style, Sharon Creech intricately weaves together two tales, one funny, one bittersweet, to create a heartwarming, compelling, and utterly moving story of love, loss, and the complexity of human emotion.
"A richly layered novel about real and metaphorical journeys."
-School Library Journal
Packed with humor affection...an odyssey of unexpected twists and surprising conclusions."
