Walk two moons

By Sharon Creech

- Age : 8~12 / Lexile : 770

When I saw the book title at first, I couldn't grasp any idea about the story. Can two moons exist in our real world? Intrigued by the title and the girl's eagerness to touch the moon on the cover, I started reading. I really can't help but say that once you start it, you can't stop in the middle. Not a cliche.

Sal Hiddle is thirteen year old and takes a trip with her grandparents to see her mother. Over the course of the journey, she tells them her days with Phoebe whose mother, like hers, left home. After finishing, I a bit shivered with a joy to learn how well the days with Phoebe and the journey were interwound to explain Sal's growing.

Here are the mysterious messages delivered to Phoebe and you, readers.

Don’t judge a man until you’ve walked two moons in his moccasins.

Everyone has his own agenda.

In the course of a lifetime, what does it matter?

You can’t keep the birds of sadness from flying over your head, but you can keep them from nesting in your hair.

I want to recommend this book to all my Archimedes!! (Which doesn't mean that this book's very hard for Trailblazer to read.)
