I have finished George's Marvelous Medicine. Now I've been reading Chasing Redbirds. The author of this book is Sharon Creech. This book talk about a girl named Zinny Taylor. She have a huge family with a bunch of brothers and sisters. She have the total of 3 sisters: May, Bonnie, and Gretchen. She also have the total of 3 younger brothers: Will, Sam, and Ben. Next to her house( and I mean RIGHT next to it, there is a door between the two house) were aunt Jessie and uncle Nate's house. Zinny was more close to her uncle and aunt than to her parents.
Aunt Jessie and uncle Nate have a daughter. Her name was Rose. She was born the same time as Zinny. So they became closed friend. They sleep together, go to the same school, and mostly everything together. But then, a tragic thing happened, Rose caught a fever and die. Aunt Jessie and uncle Nate didn't seem to be sad. They started to treat Zinny like she is their own daughter. Plus, they hardly ever visit Rose's grave.
The tragic didn't stop, after a while, Aunt Jessie die for no reason. She stayed in the closet and, she open the closet and shout, "I hope it's a miracle I'm about to see!" and then she lay back and closed her eye, and she was dead.
Everyone was so sad about Aunt Jessie's dead. Zinny and uncle Nate was the saddest. Uncle Nate was so sad he becomes crazy. He always carry a big stick around to whack snakes (because aunt Jessie hate snake) and he always chase his Redbird(aunt Jessie).
As for Zinny, she talk less than she usually is. (before she is very very quiet) She now only play at the trail she found. She even persuade her parents to let her camp there for the Summer.
I just stop there.
