In 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 utterly
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 of the story of Phoebe Winterbottom, who received mysterious
messages, who met a "potential lunatic," and whose mother
disappeared.
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.
