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."
