Synopsis

Zinny is the quiet child in her big family, and after the death of her Aunt Jessie (the Redbird of the title), she hardly speaks at all. When Zinny finds the start of a pioneer trail on the family farm, she begins a journey that leads her away from home and towards the secrets of her own childhood.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Zinny Taylor: Explorer

It started out as an ordinary summer. But the minute thirteen-year-old Zinny discovered the old, overgrown trail that ran through the woods behind her family's house, she realized that things were about to change.

Right from the start, Zinny knew that uncovering the trail would be more than just a summer project. It was her chance to finally make people notice her, and to have a place she could call her very own. But more than that, Zinny knew that the trail somehow held the key to all kinds of questions. And that the only way to understand her family, her Aunt Jessie's death, and herself was to find out where it went.

From Newbery Medal-winning author Sharon Creech comes an intricately woven tale of a young girl who sets out in search of her place in the world—and discovers it in her own backyard.
