mother has disappeared. While tracing her steps on a car trip from Ohio to
Idaho with her grandparents, Salamanca tells a story to pass the time about a
friend named Phoebe Winterbottom whose mother vanished and who received secret
messages after her disappearance. One of them read, "Don^t judge a man
until you have walked two moons in his moccasins." Despite her father^s
warning that she is "fishing in the air," Salamanca hopes to bring
her home. By drawing strength from her Native American ancestry, she is able to
face the truth about her mother. Walk Two Moons won the 1995 Newbery Medal.</span></strong></p>
