The book “Walk Two Moons” it is mainly about a girl named Sal who’s mom disappeared. Also, a girl named Phoebe’s mom disappeared. Phoebe’s mom comes back to Phoebe though but Sal’s mom does not. One night when Gram was in the hospital from a snake bite, Gramps sent Sal off in a car to drive around and do stuff while he stayed at the hospital with his wife. At around midnight, Sal was at a cliff driving around it until the cops caught her. She was listening to a story about a bus wreck that had gone over the cliff. Then the cops told her that her mom had been in that bus accident and had not lived. There was only one surviver and that was someone she knew. Then they told her that the surviver had been holding her mom’s hand and had been the last one with her.

Some of my thinking on this book is One of the ideas I thought of is when Sal keeps thinking of her mother and imagining she will come back. My thinking on that is that Sal must not be giving up on her mom.I think she is still hoping her mother will come back some day and Sal will finally become happy.

Another one of my thinking is that when Gram got bitten by the snake and she was hurt really badly and had to go to the doctor, that must make Sal really sad because her mother is gone and missing and now her Grandmother has just been bitten by a snake and has found out she has to go to the hospital to try to live. That must be the worst part in Sal’s life because as far as she knows 2 of her closer family members a re about to die.

One more of my thinkings was when Phoebe kept receiving messeges at her doorstep by a stranger and the messeges include random things like Never judge a man ntil you’ve walked two moons in his moccasins. I would be a little bit freaked out because if someone is leaving mysterious messeges at your door and you don’t know who is leaving them, that would be kind of scary.

I think the social issue of this book is loss, and death. I think these are the only ones because Sal’s mom was a HUGE loss to Sal and for most of the time she was a death because of the bus crash she was in. Also, Phoebe’s mom was a loss to Phoebe and a little to Sal because she wasn’t with Phoebe anymore and so Phoebe always had something missing to her. That part would be her mom. However Phoebe had her mother come back. So those are the social issues in the book that stuck out to me.

I think Walk Two Moons was an interesting book to read.
