국내에는 "두 개의 달 위를 걷다"라는 제목으로 번역서가 출간된 명작 청소년소설입니다. 출간되자마자 뉴베리 상, 미국 어린이 도서상, 스마티즈 북 상, 영국독서협회 상 등 미국과 영국에서 유수한 문학상을 휩쓴 이 작품은 삶과 죽음, 이별과 아픔, 이해와 용서를 통한 성장 등 인생의 굵직한 주제를 아이들의 눈높이에 맞춰 다룬 성장 소설입니다.
할머니, 할아버지와 함께 미국 북서쪽 아이다호에 살고 있는 13세 소녀 살라망카는은 홀연히 집을 떠나 돌아오지 않는 엄마의 발자취를 쫓아 할아버지, 할머니와 여행을 떠납니다. 장장 삼천 킬로미터에 달하는 긴 여정 중, 심심풀이로 시작한 친구 피비의 이야기 속에서 자신의 이야기를 발견하고 서서히 그 슬픔을 인정하고 어루만질 수 있게 됩니다. 그러면서 살라망카는 엄마 없이도 혼자 느끼고 웃을 수 있는 성인이 되어갑니다. 작품을 읽으면 살라망카의 엄마가 왜 집을 나가 돌아오지 않는지, 그리고 친구 피비의 집 앞에 떨어져 있는 쪽지의 정체는 무엇인지에 대한 궁금증과 긴장이 끊임없이 일게 되는데, 묵직한 주제의 결코 짧지 않은 이야기를 흥미의 끈을 잃지 않고 끝까지 몰고 가는 작가의 힘을 느끼게 됩니다. 친구의 이야기 속에 숨은 자신의 이야기를 발견하는 액자식 구성, 혹은 병렬적 이야기의 글쓰기 양식도 독자의 감탄을 자아내기에 충분합니다. 영국에서 오랫동안 문학 교사로 일한 작가의 경험과 아이들을 대하는 그의 애정 어린 마음이 물씬 느껴지는 작품으로 죽음을 이야기하면서도 희망적이고 아름답습니다.

Book Description
"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.
From the Publisher
"Don't judge a man until you have walked two moons in his moccasins." As Salamanca Hiddle travels cross-country with her eccentric grandparents, she tells them the story of Phoebe Winterbottom, who met a "potential lunatic" and whose mother disappeared. Beneath Phoebe's story is Salamanca's own: Her mother left for Idaho, and although she promised to return, she has not. Sal hopes to bring her mother home, despite her father's warning that she is "fishing in the air." This novel is in turns funny, mysterious and touching, as Salamanca comes to a new understanding of aspects of her life.
Booklist
Thirteen-year-old Sal Hiddle can't deal with all the upheaval in her life. Her mother, Sugar, is in Idaho, and although Sugar promised to return before the tulips bloomed, she hasn't come back. Instead, Mr. Hiddle has moved Sal from the farm she loves so much and has even taken up company with the unpleasantly named Mrs. Cadaver. Multilayered, the book tells the story of Sal's trip to Idaho with her grandparents; and as the car clatters along, Sal tells her grandparents the story of her friend Phoebe, who receives messages from a "lunatic" and who must cope with the disappearance of her mother. The novel is ambitious and successful on many fronts: the characters, even the adults, are fully realized; the story certainly keeps readers' interest; and the pacing is good throughout. But Creech's surprises--that Phoebe's mother has an illegitimate son and that Sugar is buried in Idaho, where she died after a bus accident--are obvious in the first case and contrived in the second. Sal knows her mother is dead; that Creech makes readers think otherwise seems a cheat, though one, it must be admitted, that may bother adults more than kids. Still, when Sal's on the road with her grandparents, spinning Phoebe's yarn and trying to untangle her own, this story sings. Ilene Cooper
1995 Newbery Award Selection Committee.
"The book is packed with humor and affection and is an odyssey of unexpected twists and surprising conclusions."
Ingram
On a long car trip, thirteen-year-old Salamanca Tree Hiddle tells her grandparents the story of a friend who copes with a lunatic and the disappearance of her mother, a tale that reflects Sal's own experience with abandonment. Reprint. Newbery Medal Winner.
