Summary: Really fantastic book
Review: This is a really great book about a girl named Zinny. She lives on a farm in Kentucky with her parents and siblings, and right next to her Uncle Nate and Aunt Jessie. Her Aunt Jessie dies, and Zinny discovers a trail near her house, and makes it her goal to start uncovering it. As she uncovers the trail, she also uncovers things about her Aunt Jessie, and begins to deal with her death. This is a really great book, and anyone who liked Walk Two Moons, also by Sharon Creech, will love this book too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My review of Chasing Redbird, by Melody Stewart
Review: I really enjoyed reading Chasing Redbird. I was doing it as a girl scout project and I really enjoyed it. My favorite part was when Zinny took her uncle up on the trail with Sal's horse Willow and she got to know a little bit more about her uncle and her aunt, and see her cousin's things again. I thought it was nice that Jake followed Zinny on her trip even though she did not know it. He was protecting her. It is funny that at the end Zinny told Jake that if he dated her sister May, she would punch his brains in. And he said cripes. I enjoyed reading the book. I have read Walk Two Moons and Absolutely Normal Chaos. I have enjoyed all of the books and I can't wait to read more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Chasing A good Book
Review: This book is one of my favorites by Sharon Creech. She does an excelent job describing how it feels to like someone who you think doesn't like you back. It's all about how Zinny Taylor and her search to find herself along the Bybamks-Chocton Trail. I would deffinately recomend this book if you have nothinng else to read.

Summary: Chasing Redbird
Review: This book is great! I love everything about! I really like how Zinny views life. It is like she is really 13 year old who could know right now. I also like the how Zinny and Jake play out in this book. It is a really cute love story and it sounds really to me, like the girl could be so pig-headed she would not really realize Jake really liked her. Kinda funny how well some authors can make someone think a book is really. I really enjoyed this book and think others should read it too. It is a funny little tale and if they are a little sad it might do them a world of good!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Chasing Redbird / Sharon Creech does it again
Review: This was one of the best books I have ever read! I have read most of Sharon's books. I truly belive this was the best! If you like mystery, romance, adventure, humor all in the same book you will LOVE this book! Zinny Tylor and her family are so unpredictable. This book tells about a 13 year old girl named Zinnia, Zinny. Zinny uncovers a trail not close to her home and feels compelled to find out where it leads. In her exciting discover she learns about herself and her family. At the end it feels like it should go on. There should be a sequel.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: BORING
Review: If you like to be bored read this book! I liked Walk Two Moon and The Wanderer, by Sharoh Creech but this was boring!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Really GREAT page Turner!
Review: I ecspecially enjoyed this book. I really got into it, once I began. I finished it in about two days. I REALLY enjoyed the part where she had to leave the house, and go through the path. She was very brave...I recomend this book because it was a real page-turner. It makes you wanna read until you reach the flap cover. I found this a very relaxing, calm, book...hope you do too!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Discovery of Truths
Review: I thought this book was well written that one would not want to put it down once he or she started to read it. This is the case with myself.
Zinny, a 13-year old girl, is set on a journy of discovery. She find this overgrown path in her backyard and decides that she will uncover the whole thing by herself and this will be known as her path to everyone. Zinny comes from a large family and happens to be placed in the middle. She feels that everyone contributes to the family some-how except for herself. On covering the path became an obession for Zinny, because this would be a way she would be definied in her family. Zinny researches the trail and finds out it is twenty miles long. She makes a plan to camp out therefore she does not have to return every night. Through uncovering the trail, Zinny discovers many truths. Zinny discovers truths about herself and her family. Zinny discovers that even though she is a middle child of many siblings she holds a special place in her parents heart. Zinny also discovers a romance. She also discovers some hidden family secrets. This book is written in a fashion that it slowly starts to reveal information, but you must continue to read to find out how it all ends. This book captures the essence of the thirteen year old girl perfectly. You are able to read and feel like you are thirteen years old again going through the trials with Zinny.
I think this is an excellent book and if you want to find out about the discoveries that Zinny makes you will have to read the story, which I recommend.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a Read
Review: I have to say this is undoubtedly the best book I have ever read...I have found myself reading it over and over again. I love the fact that there is a romance involved. Being I myself have had my share of crushes on older boys, I wish I could have one like Zinny does. This along with the slightly supernatural part of the story really got me interested. Plus, who can pass up a story that so clearly and truly depicts a teenage girls relationship with her family and her fasination with life? Like stated in another review, I was hooked by the first sentence. This book really found a special place in my heart and I can only hope that you will give it a chance and hopefully you too will fall in love.
