Teton County Library Call No: J CREECH
Marisa's Rating: 4 Stars

This was one of my favorites growing up. Just recently re-read Chasing Redbird and it was just as great as I remember. The book is the story of Zinnie,a girl who discovers a trail near her house and vows to uncover it completely. She comes form a large family that get to play around outside all day- sounds like a great childhood. However, with her aunt's death and the subsequent sadness that comes upon the family Zinnie has to find a way to come to terms with the death and find a life of their own. I think I really liked this book because Zinnie was someone I would have wanted to be friends with: imaginative, interesting, self-motivated and confident. Sharon Creech is always so engaging and I really loved her take on this story.
