Bookroo's summary
Thirteen-year-old Salamanca embarks on a road trip with her quirky grandparents, sharing the mysterious tale of Phoebe Winterbottom, whose mother vanished. As Sal spins Phoebe's story, her own longing for her missing mother surfaces. Will this journey unravel the truth behind both disappearances? Dive into a tale where humor meets heartache, and every mile brings new revelations.
From the publisher
“How about a story? Spin us a yarn.” Instantly, Phoebe Winterbottom came to mind. “I could tell you an extensively strange story,” I warned. “Oh, good!” Gram said. “Delicious!” And that is how I happened to tell them about Phoebe, her disappearing mother, and the lunatic. As Sal entertains her grandparents with Phoebe’s outrageous story, her own story begins to unfold–the story of a thirteen-year-old girl whose only wish is to be reunited with her missing mother. In her own award-winning style, 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.
