ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONIn 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 deeply 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 the story of Phoebe Winterbottom, who receives mysterious messages, meets a "potential lunatic," and whose mother disappears.
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.
