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 the author of the Newbery Medal-winning Walk Two Moons, here is 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.

Always the quiet (and often forgotten) middle child in a bustling family, Zinnia’s life begins to change when she stumbles upon a hidden, overgrown pathway that stretches from the edge of her family’s farm into the great unknown. Determined to find where the path leads, Zinnia begins the daunting task of uncovering brambles and weeds along every inch of its length. In powerful, honest, down-home prose, Newbery-winner Sharon Creech delivers a dazzling portrait of a girl who’s not afraid to journey into her family’s mysterious past in order to find her own way into adulthood. Watching Zinnia bloom will warm your heart.
