Book Review: Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech

★★★★★

You can't keep the birds of sadness from flying over your head, but you can keep them from nesting in your hair.

I love listening to audiobooks while I do physical work. Whether I'm cleaning or gardening, I always try to pop on an audiobook - it makes the work so much more pleasant! And so, while I was doing some yardwork the other day, I decided to put on Walk Two Moons.

I love Sharon Creech's Chasing Redbird, so I've always meant to pick this one up. From the synopsis I expected something emotional, but nothing I couldn't handle. After all, I rarely cry when it comes to books.

...And then I spent the last ten minutes of reading hiding behind a bush sobbing. Darn it, Sharon Creech!

This is a beautiful book. It's essentially three stories in one: the story of Sal's mother's disappearance, the story of Phoebe Winterbottom's disappearing mother, and the story of Sal as she goes across the country with her grandparents. All three different narratives, but they blend together so beautifully, spilling into one another and enriching the effects of each other.

There are certainly some difficult topics in here, but Sharon Creech handles them beautifully. And even though I could guess some parts, how they were written drove me to tears. It's emotional, it's messy, it's honest. And that makes me love it so much more.

Do yourself a favour, and pick of Walk Two Moons - you'll rarely find something so well put together.

Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech

My rating: 5 of 5 stars If you've known me since I was a little girl you might know about my affinity for this book, because despite what my goodreads says this is actually my 4th reread of this absolutely gorgeous novel. This book was first read to me in 5th grade by my teacher at the time. I remember it all very clearly, about her talking about how the book had impacted her, and how the kids around me didn't pay enough attention. I was transfixed, and I'm pretty sure that out of my whole private school class, I was the one to lay my head down and cry during the ending.    That first reading really cemented what this book meant to me, and what it still means to me. I really don't think that if I had discovered it any other way that it would've made such an impact.    The second and third times I read this book, were both through audiobook. In fact I loved this book so much I begged my poor dad to buy me an audible subscription just so I could listen to Walk Two Moons over and over. I have a memory of being just a kid with bad insomnia and being unable to sleep, so I listened to the audiobook all night while sorting beads on the floor of my room. Salamanca's story the only thing to keep me company.    All that being said, and this being my only time actually reading and looking at the words of this book, and I couldn't be happier to be doing so. Reading the book is a very different but still wonderful experience. And sometimes when Grams says "Huzza Huzza" I can hear it in my head the exact same way the person reading the audiobook said it. This book is a wonderful exploration of themes of love and loss, for younger readers and older readers alike. And while I love this book to death, I dont recommend it for purely selfish reasons, I want it for myself. View all my reviews

There’s something so odd and so perfect about every sentence in this book. I don’t think I’d be the person I am today without first laying eyes on its contents. A book so full of love and even more full of longing and loss and peculiarity. If I drew my soul in 15 seconds, it would be a circle with a maple leaf inside.
