Walk Two Moons
by Sharon
Creech
A young girl known as Sal is traveling from Ohio to Idaho with her grandparents. They are on a search to find her mother. Along the way, she tells them of a story about Phoebe Winterbottom, who received mysterious messages, met a "potential lunatic," and whose mother disappeared. Under her story lies the story of Sal and her mother, who left one day for Idaho and has not returned since. Sal has less than one week to get to Idaho before her mother’s birthday and bring her back. Even though her father has warned her that she is walking on a wire line, she believes that this is the only chance she has to reunite her family.
