Walk Two Moons
By Sharon Creech
The novel is narrated by a 13-year-old girl named Salamanca (Sal) Hiddle. Sal's mother has recently left Sal's father, and Sal's grandparents are taking her on a cross-country car trip to Lewiston, Idaho to see her mother. On the trip, Sal entertains her grandparents by telling a story about her friend Phoebe from Euclid, Ohio. Over the course of the book, as Sal's story unfolds and their car travels west, she reveals more details about her friend and why her story reminds Salamanca of her own. The more she tells her grandparents of Phoebe's story, the more she feels like her story is connected to Phoebe's story.
