Episode 141: Chasing Redbird

Chasing Redbird

Sharon Creech’s Chasing Redbird is the story of Zinnia Taylor, a thirteen-year-old who is navigating the chaos of her large family with the guilt she feels about the untimely deaths of her beloved cousin Rose and her Aunt Jessie. Oh, and there’s also an older boy named Jake Boone who is suddenly paying a lot of attention to her. But what happens when Zinny takes on the task of uncovering a twenty-mile trail behind her house? As you can probably guess, the project is going to take her on a major ~journey~.

On Episode 141, author Sarah Hogle joins Alli for a conversation about grief, mental health, guilt, identity, and so much more. They also address one burning question: Is Jake Boone a hero or a creep?
