Chasing Redbird by Sharon Creech is an absolute must-read!!It is about a girl named Zinnie who is 13 years old.Zinnie has a large family which consists of her 3 sisters,her 3 brothers,her aunt,uncle, mom,dad,and herself.Zinnie is constantly being mistaken for her other siblings.When Zinnie finds an overgrown trail is her backyard,she starts to uncover the trail and the secrets beneath it.Zinnie realizes that uncovering the trail might be her one shot to get people to notice her,for who she is.The main character of this book was Zinnie Taylor.Zinnie was a very shy,quiet girl.Zinnie changes throughout the book because in the beginning,Zinnie is quiet and shy,and in the middle,Zinnie is more confident. Towards the end,Zinnie is confident and she talks more.I liked Zinnie alot because she reminded me of myself.Like Zinnie,I am quiet. My reason for being quiet is the same as Zinnie's.Not because I don't have anything to say,just because I like listening.
I would recommend ths book to any person who likes books with action,mystery,and a hint of drama,because this book is chock full of action,because of the things that happen on the trail,a bit of drama(between Zinnie and her sister),and mystery(because of her uncle and his strange behavior).Overall,this book was amazing!
