About the book
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.
As two stories converge on one cross-country journey, Sal must confront her own past. But can she find her mother—and herself—before it’s too late?
- An Unforgettable Road Trip: Join Sal and her hilarious, loving, and utterly unpredictable grandparents on a cross-country journey from Ohio to Idaho to find her missing mother.
- Two Interwoven Stories: As Sal tells the tale of her friend Phoebe Winterbottom—a girl tangled in a mystery of her own—she begins to unravel the truth about her own family.
- Rich Native American Heritage: A beautifully told story about a girl proud of the \"Indian-ness in her blood\" and the wisdom passed down through generations.
- A Story of Grief and Hope: This powerful and deeply moving classic explores family, loss, and the courage it takes to walk in another person’s moccasins.
