Salamanca or "Sal" as she likes to be called, is what most people would call, a country girl. She is used to wide open plains of green grass, a swimming hole, and lots of good climbing trees. She is not, however, prepared for the huge city with it's grey cement sidewalks and tiny patches of feeble grass. And of course, her father plucks her up like a weed and brings her to the city of Euclid. When Sal and her grandparents are driving to Idaho to find Sal's mother, she tells them the story of Phoebe Winterbottom, her mother, the lunatic, and the strange notes. But underneath all those crazy layers of story lies Sal's own insane story. The story of her mother, and how she left them back in April.
I really enjoyed this book a lot! It was very strange and definitely funny. As you can see, it won the Newbery Medal, so a lot of other people must have thought it was good. The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 Stars, was that it was too childish. I would say it is good enough for 3rd grade and up. Because people of all ages can appreciate what is going on in this book. There are no inappropriate parts in this book, and it is a cute story all will enjoy. You should definitely try it out in your free time!
