Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech

One book I read this summer was Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech. This book is about a girl named Sal how tries to find herself. In the book she goes on a crazy adventure with her and her grandparents unravels a crazy story about her and her friend. On this adventure she looking to find her but at the same time trying to find her mother who had passed already.

            In the first few chapters it explains her past, like how her mother had died and how she moved after that from this big farm with trees and swimming hole to this small town with not a single barn or swimming hole. In my opinion this made Sal feel real lost inside and confused that she leaving all these precious memory of her home and her mom and moving to this small town with here dad. Soon in the book she and her grandparents go to visit her moms grave in Lewiston, Idaho. Towards the end of the book I feel like Sal is begging to let go of her past to make room for her future because she finally learned to accept the past, which made it easier to let go of it.

            I feel like this book connects to teenagers because a lot off teenagers go a period in their life where they don’t know who they are yet. They might feel lost sometimes or confused about who they are which is normal. At points I feel like kids think they should know who they are always and never be confused about it, but that’s not true at points everyone has felt misplaced and has had to stop and find out who they are truly. For some people that might take a week and for others it might take a year or two, which is perfectly normal.
