Synopsis
"Don't judge a man until you have walked two moons in his moccasins."
As Salamanca Hiddle travels cross-country with her eccentric grandparents, she tells them the story of Phoebe Winterbottom, who met a "potential lunatic" and whose mother disappeared. Beneath Phoebe's story is Salamanca's own: Her mother left for Idaho, and although she promised to return, she has not. Sal hopes to bring her mother home, despite her father's warning that she is "fishing in the air."
This novel is in turns funny, mysterious and touching, as Salamanca comes to a new understanding of aspects of her life.

Review
Walk Two Moons, winner of the Newbury Medal, intelligently and without fuss tells the story of a young girl whose mother has gone away from her, but who has a long journey ahead before she can come to terms with the reality that has haunted her for such a long time.
Salamanca Hiddle and her delightfully eccentric grandparents drive through America, taking in the sights, sounds and smells of the country as she recounts the story of her friend Phoebe's mother. As the tale unfolds, so too does the story of Salamanca's own mother, bringing true meaning to the American Indian proverb: "Don't judge a man until you have walked two moons in his moccasins". Sharon Greech takes the reader on a spellbinding, emotional journey through love, anger and grief, but never once relies on schmaltz or sugary sentiment to make her point in this sassy, smart and canny little book. --Susan Harrison
Review
"A richly layered novel about real and metaphorical journeys."--School Library Journal
"The book is packed with humor and affection and is an odyssey of unexpected twists and surprising conclusions."--1995 Newbery Award Selection Committee.
"This story sings."--Booklist
"In this funny and sad adventure story, readers fall in love with 13-year-old Salamanca, who is proud of her Indian blood and her country roots. Two stories weave together and teach the important life lesson that every story has two sides."--Brightly
