In her own singularly beautiful style, Newbery Medal winner Sharon Creech intricately weaves together two tales, one funny, one bittersweet, to create a heartwarming, compelling, and utterly moving story of love, loss, and the complexity of human emotion.

Thirteen-year-old Salamanca Tree Hiddle, proud of her country roots and the "Indian-ness in her blood," travels from Ohio to Idaho with her eccentric grandparents. Along the way, she tells them the story of Phoebe Winterbottom, who received mysterious messages, met a potential lunatic, and whose mother disappeared.

As Sal entertains her grandparents with Phoebe's outrageous story, her own story begins to unfoldโ€”the story of a thirteen-year-old girl whose only wish is to be reunited with her missing mother.
