My favorite book

Walk Two Moons was written by Sharon Creech. It is about a girl called Sal. She is movig with her dad to meet Margaret Cadaver (a woman she thinks her father wants to marry) . Her mum left earlier and it seems she will not come back... Sal doesn't like Margaret very much, and when her grandparents plan to take a road trip to visit her mother's last known location and she goes with them. As the trip progresses, Sal passes the time by telling her grandparents the tale of her friend Phoebe, who has a strong belief that Mrs. Cadaver killed her husband. The novel ends when Sal's grandmother has to go to the hospital from a lizard's bite. Sal's grandfather gives Sal the keys and she drives to her mum's last known location, where she gets stopped by the sheriff. Later the reader finds out that Sal's mother died in an accident when the bus she was on tumbled over a cliff. Everyone was killed, except Margaret, which is why Sal's father is spending so much time with her. Back at the hospital, Sal's grandmother also dies. At the end of the story Sal, Grandpa, and Sal's dad move back.
