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's how Sal's voice-warm, a little shy, utterly real-started weaving.
Not just Phoebe's wild tale of a disappearing mom and a lunatic.
But her own.
Thirteen years old. Missing her mother.
The audiobook doesn't just tell you this.
It lets you lean in.
Hear the pause before Sal says "I miss her."
Feel the crack in her voice when she talks about the suitcase left behind.
Gram's "delicious!" isn't just a line.
It's the sound of someone listening closely.
Really listening.
Sharon Creech's words aren't just read.
They're whispered.
Confided.
You hear the weight of every word.
Phoebe's story is loud.
Funny.
A little bit dangerous.
Like a girl shouting from a moving car.
Sal's story is quieter.
A sigh in the dark.
But it's the quiet one that sticks.
How she ties them together.
Phoebe's chaos mirroring Sal's ache.
Two lost girls.
Two different kinds of missing.
The narrator nails it.
The playful bounce for Phoebe's tale.
The soft, careful hesitation for Sal's.
No perfect endings.
Just this.
The way Sal's voice drops when she says "she left me a note."
You feel it.
Not just hear it.
The audiobook makes you lean closer to your headphones.
Like you're the one sitting with Gram and Grandpa.
Eyes wide.
Heart a little tight.
Because it's not just a story about a mom who vanished.
It's about the spaces left behind.
The quiet moments.
The way a single word can hold an ocean.
"Delicious" isn't just Gram's word.
It's how this book feels.
When you listen.
To the laughter.
To the silence.
To the way Sal finally says it:
"I miss her."
And you realize-
You've been missing it too.
All along.
You don't just hear it.
You feel it in your chest.
Like a slow, soft rain.
No grand speeches.
Just truth.
And a voice that makes you remember.
How it feels to love someone who's not there.
How it feels to be heard.
