In Walk Two Moons, how does Sal adjust to her new home?

She doesn’t like it much. Sal and her father John have moved from a farm in Bybanks, Kentucky, to the small city of Euclid, Ohio, now that Sal’s mother has left the family. The house is small, and Sal says she’s left things behind in Kentucky. But she’s made friends with Phoebe Winterbottom, who is in her class at school. Hanging out with Phoebe helps Sal put aside thoughts of her own mother, although these memories surface regularly. It also helps her deal with her father’s new friendship with Margaret Cadaver, the red-haired woman who lives next door to the Winterbottoms. Sal doesn’t really want to know what’s going on between them. Phoebe and Sal can keep an eye on the Cadaver house, though; and strange activities seem to go on there. Both girls have active imaginations, and this makes for plenty of adventure and shared experiences.
