Walk Two M oons
I just read...

I just read Walk Two Moons (by Sharon Creech). It was really great. I say that Sharon Creech is the most awesome author ever! Walk Two Moons is about Sal and her trip to Idaho with her funny grandparents. Along the way Sal tells her grandparents about her friend Phoebe and the lunatic. It was sooooooo awesome!!!! Another really good Sharon Creech book is Chasing Redbird. Write when I finish a new book. KEEP ON READING!!!!!!!!

back to the Blab about Books

I just read Walk Two Moons for school. I loved it! It was so sad, though...

I've read Chasing Redbird, too. It was also wonderful.

In addition, I've read Ruby Holler, which I have the same opinion about.

I also started The Wanderer, but I didn't really like it much and didn't finish it.

Dear Ima,

I am glad that you liked Walk two moons and Chasing Redbird!!!!! I have also read Ruby Holler and The Wanderer. I have to agree that The Wanderer was not as good as the other books by Sharon Creech. Have you ever read the Emily Windsnap Series(by Liz Kessler)? They are really good!!

I have read the Emily Windsnap books. I used to love them, but now I've read them again and I don't really like them very much.

I LOVE Walk Two Moons!!!  There are so many amazing life lessons in it, and the meaning is so deep!!  Yay!  I actually listened to it (audiobook from the amazing Audible) with my family on a road trip.  The first time I listnened to it, I was very caught up in the plot and so I didn't fully comprehend the details.  Then on a plane ride, I listened to it, and caught all the little things and the book took on new meaning.  Awesome book!! 

I have read Chasing Redbird and I really like it!  At the end, I wanted to know what would happen next, but then it just ended and I was a tad annoyed.  But it's good!

I also recommend Bloomability.  It's amazing!  I have gone back to it and flipped through it and have laughed at the funny parts all over again and sighed at the sad parts as if it was my first time reading it again.  Great!!

And then for the Wanderer.  It's good, I actually like it.  But it does have a slow start.  And it doesn't have as much going on as in the others.  I really like the ending and how it ties into the rest of the book.  Sorry I can't give you much more info because I read it in 4th grade and don't remember it too well.  It's just slower paced than the rest, but still good.

It's great to find other Sharon Creech adorers!!
