This boxed set contains Trophy paperback editions of Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech; Catherine, Called Birdy by Karen Cushman; and Indian Captive by Lois Lenski.

Walk Two Moons

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.Catherine, Called Birdy

Catherine feels trapped. Her father is determined to marry her off to arich man -- any rich man, no matter how awful.

But by wit, trickery, and luck, Catherine manages to send several would-be husbands packing. Then a shaggy-bearded suitor from the north comes to call -- by far the oldest, ugliest, most revolting suitor of them all.

Unfortunately, he is also the richest.

Can a sharp-tongued, high-spirited, clever young maiden with a mind of her own actually lose the battle against an ill-mannered, piglike lord and an unimaginative, greedy toad of a father?

Deus! Not if Catherine has anything to say about it!Indian Captive

In this classic frontier adventure, Lois Lenskireconstructs the real life story of Mary Jemison, who was captured in a raid as young girl and raised amongst the Seneca Indians.

Meticulously researched and illustrated with many detailed drawings, this novel offers an exceptionally vivid and personal portrait of Native American life and customs. ... Read more

Reading this book can teach you a valuable moral.
Walk Two Moons is a depressingly sad story.The author creates a sense of hope and faith through the main charecter.By the end of the book the reader has been given a simple moral that everyone should have, "toget on with our lifes no matter what happens".

Sad, happy, depressing all at the same time.
This is a very nice book and well written. Sharon Creech is a very imaginative writer. She comes up with wonderfull idea's. She knows exactly what she is going to write next. She doesn't stop to think on what towrite. I think that's a very good habit. If you like this book then youshould read "Chasing red bird" that is a very good book. Butanyways when I was reading this book I couldn't put this book down!!!!!!!Great book... For ages 9-13. ... Read more
