Summary: A truely MARVELOUS work of literature!
Review: I loved the main charater, Zinny, because she was a very quiet and closed up person, but slowly unfolds, and lets her personality loose. She finds a very old trail, and feels that she MUST uncover it or she will 'be struck down by the hand of God.' When she's on the trail, the author makes it so interesting and adventurous, that I SO want to be there! All alone and uncovering a mystery to her family. All along, she has an admirer that she can't believe would actually like her instead of her sister, May. She has mixed up feelings over this matter. Anyways, this whole book is funny, sad, sweet, and charming all mixed in one! I LOVED Sharon Creech's other books Walk Two Moons and Absolutly NOrmal Chaos just as much!!! Sharon Creech is truely my most favorite author!!!

Summary: A novel for all ages that warms the heart ...
Review: How interesting that in our digital age there are some authors who still write books that sound like "Little House on the Prairie" ... This is a beautifully written short novel that is destined to become a classic. Zinnia Taylor, the middle daughter in a huge family, feels tremendous guilt for the deaths of her aunt and cousin. She finds a trail near her rural Kentucky home leading the next town and resolves to clear it ... discovering some family secrets as well as herself in the progress. Every bit as good as the author's beautiful first novel, "Walk Too Moons".
