The scenes with the English teacher made me smile when the kids completely missed the point of the exercise, though I admit that the teacher went a bit overboard and was not careful in choosing the passages he read. It's a very interesting way in which the author is able to grasp the social influences in this age group. On a road trip from Ohio to Idaho, 13-year-old Salamanca Tree Hiddle, who is part Indian, entertains her grandparents with stories about Phoebe Winterbottom. While the main character in this book learns many life lessons (her friend Phoebe reminds me of a friend I had when I was a girl), I found myself nodding my head about the manner that she learns them. I usually listen to science fiction, historical fiction and non-fiction. He normally listens to books like Harry Potter, the Percy Jackson series, and books by Jonathan Stroud. Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech has a variety of setting changes within the story. I went ahead and listened beforehand and found myself sucked into a book that neither of us would normally listen to. Creech wrote and published three books in England Walk Two Moons, published in 1995, is her fourth book. ![]() My son was assigned this book for school, starting this week. ![]()
