Title: A great coming of age story
Review: Sharon Creech in Chasing Redbird captured perfectly a coming of age story of a thirteen year-old girl. Zinny Taylor, one of seven children always feels lost in the jumble of her family and wants peaceful solitude. Always asked by others which Taylor she is, she wants to become an individual and known as Zinny Taylor. Her chance comes when she comes upon a mysterious trail that begins near her family's house. She then decides that she will uncover the whole trail, 20 miles, alone so she can spend time away from all the chaos of her house and find herself. Not only does she find herself, but she uncovers secrets about her family including the death of her cousin, Rose, and her Aunt Jessie. Zinny also discovers love and that she is just as lovable as others. At the end Zinny discovers much about her life as she chases the Redbird.
