Welcome to Walk Two Moons

The Newbery Medal-winning Walk Two Moons is a story about journeys, family love, and commitment. Salamanca Hiddle and her Gram and Gramps are on a cross-country trip to Idaho to see Sal's mother. As they travel, Sal tells her grandparents about her friend Phoebe Winterbottom, whose mother mysteriously left the family, just as strange messages began appearing anonymously on the Winterbottoms' porch. At the same time, Sal thinks about her own past with her parents, including her mother's mysterious reasons for leaving her husband and daughter to take a bus to Idaho. These two stories unfold simultaneously as Sal continues the journey westward with her colorful, storytelling grandparents. In the end, Sal and Phoebe learn the truth about Phoebe's mother when she finally returns to her family: Mrs. Winterbottom has a son who she gave up for adoption many years before her marriage. Sal also faces the truth about her own mother, who died in a tragic bus accident just outside Lewiston, Idaho. Just as Sal recognizes the hard truth about her mother, she learns that her dear Gram Hiddle has died.
