Salamanca Tree Hiddle, or Sal for short, has convinced her Grandparents to help her travel from Euclid, Ohio to Lewiston,Idaho in time for her Mothe rs birthday because Sal feels that will be the one and only chance she'll get to bring her back. Salamanca is a brave, determined, and is as ornery as a donkey. She is also one heck of a story teller. Through out the entire trip from Euclid to Lewiston, Sal tells her Grandparents about the tale of Phoebe, T he Lunatic, Phoebe's missing mother, and her own heartbreaking past.

My favorite character in the book is Phoebe Winterbottom. She is very melodramatic and has all these crazy conclusions to things like how she thinks the Lunatic kidnaps her mother or how Mrs.Cadaver killed her husband and buried him in the backyard. Although she can also be VERY annoying by being super healthy and saying annoying things all the time like "That's what I'm telling you!" or "Cholesterol!" . Other than that, ﻿ she's a very good friend to Sal.

This is a mystery story and a little bit a romance between and certain someone and Sal. Not to mention Sal's lovesick grandparents. I really loved this book because of the great plot and excellent twist at the end. The autho rs sense of organization in this book is amazing because if you pay very close attention you can see that Sharon Creech (the author!) has hidden hints throughout the book that tell you about the endin gs great twist! The part that I did not enjoy though was the beginning because to me, it was kind of, boring. Sal's just explaining her life in Bybanks,Kentucky before she moved with her father to Euclid, Idaho.

But other than that, this was a very interesting read and full of mysteries! I'm a mystery lover so if your like me, you should definitely read this book. I promise you won't regret it!
