Walk Two Moons Award-winning by Sharon Creech (author) (UK edition)

When Salamanca Hibble is dragged off on a road-trip across America with her hippy-dippy grandparents, it’s a chance to make sense of the mystery that haunts her world – that of her mother’s sudden disappearance. As the journey unfolds, Salamanca begins to learn the meaning of the American Indian proverb “Don’t judge a man until you have walked two moons in his moccasins”. This extraordinary story of a journey into the wilds – and deep into the human spirit – is an unforgettable tale of healing and the will to survive.
