"Walk Two Moons" follows the journey of thirteen-year-old Salamanca Tree Hiddle as she travels with her grandparents from Ohio to Idaho to find her missing mother. Intertwined with her own story, Salamanca shares the tale of her friend Phoebe, who faces her own family turmoil. As Salamanca discovers more about her family's past and her own identity, themes of love, loss, and understanding emerge. The narrative beautifully weaves together the challenges of growing up with the importance of empathy, urging readers to see the world through others' perspectives.
