Chasing Redbird

Chasing Redbird by Sharon Creech

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Though it took a while for me to “get into” this book, once in, it soon became an “Is it really 1:30am? I’ve got to go to sleep, but I’ve got to find out what happens” book. The theme is beautifully subtle, but by the end you want to give it to a youth who is struggling with the death of a loved one. . . or to someone who is dealing with a youth who is struggling with the death of a loved one. Everyone deals with grief differently, and Zinny’s way is certainly unique. She is prickly, determined and stubborn, but somehow loveable, too. I sort of miss her now I’m not living with her day to day!
