Walk Two Moons  By Sharon Creech

 In the book __Walk Two Moons__ a 13 year old girl named Salmanca Tree Hiddle grows up on a farm in Bybanks, Kentucky. Sal lives with her mom Chanhassen and her dad, and the chickens, the cows, the barn, the trees and the swimming hole. One day Sal's mom leaves on a trip to Idaho and never comes back. Since everything on the farm reminds Sal and her dad about thier mom, they move to Idaho where Sal's dad goes over to a woman named Margaret Cadaver's house. Sal doesn't like Mrs. Cadaver, probably because she doesn't want her dad to replace her mom.

 Sal's confused and completely strange grandparents take Sal on a road trip to Idaho because they know that Sal really wants to see her mom again. Sal intends to get there by her mother's birthday hoping she will have a better chance of bringing her mother back home. Along the way Sal tells her grandparents a story about her friend Phoebe Winterbottom. In the story Phoebe's unappreciated mother leaves unexpectedly and after she leaves Phoebe receives mysterious letter. Phoebe thinks that a lunatic kidnapped her mother and is leaving the notes. Even though Sal knows that Phoebe has a very imaginative brain and over reacts to everything she still believes that Phoebe's lunatic story is true.

 Can Sal get to Idaho in time for her mother's birthday? Will Phoebe find her mother and catch the lunatic? Find out when you read __Walk Two Moons.__

 I absolutely loved __Walk Two Moons__. The author did a good job of putting in mysteries and clues for the mysteries that are very difficult to spot. I thought that was really cool. The funniest thing about the book to me was how Phoebe would always say, ''That's what I'm trying to tell you!" to Sal when she asked a question about what Phoebe was talking to her about. The best part about the book was how Phoebe and Sal stomped off to the police trying to convince Sergent Bickle that Phoebe's mom had been kidnapped by the lunatic. To me that part was hysterical.

 I'd recommend this book for anyone that is over 9 years old (only because it's a bit of a challenging to read) and loves books with adventure, suspense, mystery, and a good laugh. If I had to give it a letter grade I'd give this book an A++++!!!!

 I hope you read this book:-)  Hanna Pahl Age 10, grade 6
