Walk Two Moons

By: Sharon Creech

Narrated by: Hope Davis

In her own singularly beautiful style, Newbery Medal winner 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.

Thirteen-year-old Salamanca Tree Hiddle, proud of her country roots and the ""Indian-ness in her blood,"" travels from Ohio to Idaho with her eccentric grandparents. Along the way, she tells them of the story of Phoebe Winterbottom, who received mysterious messages, who met a ""potential lunatic,"" and whose mother disappeared.

As Sal entertains her grandparents with Phoebe's outrageous story, her own story begins to unfold—the story of a thirteen-year-old girl whose only wish is to be reunited with her missing mother.

Huzzah, huzzah!

Hard to believe that this book hasn’t gotten more attention. Great story, amazing narration.
Loved this story.

Great book.

My daughter insisted that I listen to this book after it was assigned reading for her middle school Language Arts class. She liked it so much she wanted me to hear it and I'm glad she did. It was very intriguing and had some great life lesson reminders.

What took me so long?

I’m a sixth grade teacher and was looking for a book to use in book clubs. I can’t believe I’ve waited my whole life to read this book but I’ve owned it for years. It was funny, suspenseful, frustrating, and induced reflection. You’ll definitely laugh AND cry! I love that there are so many elements of foreshadowing that the book is worth a second read and you’d still enjoy it. Every student of mine who has chosen this book has also loved it. Easy choice. Regardless of your age, you will enjoy Walk Two Moons!

TERRIBLE NARRATION

I loved this book when I read it as an actual book but when I listened to it on audible I REALLY hated the voice of Hope Davis cuz it was WAY to twangy and western.

Powerful, well written, well read

Powerful, well written, well read. There are no wasted lines, no frivolous tangents. The story is gripping, raw, and emotional every step of the way.

the plot twist

I love it, it was heartwarming and it is an amazing story. I will definitely read it again

I absolutely love this book.

I first fell in love with this book in 2nd grade. I love the scenery, the picture it paints, and most of all I love how similar it is to my own life story.
