Publisher's summary
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.

The sea, the sea, the sea. It rolled and rolled and called to me. Come in, it said, come in. Thirteen-year-old Sophie is the only girl amongst the crew of The Wanderer, made up of her three uncles and two cousins. They sail across the Atlantic toward England, the land of Bompie, her grandfather. The personal journey she takes brings her deeper into a forgotten past than she ever knew possible. Sophie’s 13-year-old cousin Cody isn’t sure why his father brought him along. Everyone, including his dad, thinks he’s nothing but a knucklehead doofus.

"My second life began when I was kidnapped by two complete strangers...." That the kidnappers are actually Aunt Sandy and Uncle Max makes no difference to 13-year-old Domenica Santolina Doone, better known as Dinnie--she just doesn't want to go. Dinnie's accustomed to change, with her family constantly moving for "opportunity"--but when her aunt and uncle whisk her far away to an international school in Switzerland, she's not sure she's ready to face this "opportunity" alone.

I had big thoughts to match the big wind. I wondered if we find the people we need when we need them. I wondered if we attract our future by some sort of invisible force, or if we are drawn to it by a similar force. I felt I was turning a corner and that change was afoot. In the little town of Blackbird Tree live two orphan girls: one Naomi Deane, brimming with curiosity, and her best friend, Lizzie Scatterding, who could talk the ears off a cornfield. Naomi has a knack for being around when trouble happens.

"My second life began when I was kidnapped by two complete strangers...." That the kidnappers are actually Aunt Sandy and Uncle Max makes no difference to 13-year-old Domenica Santolina Doone, better known as Dinnie--she just doesn't want to go. Dinnie's accustomed to change, with her family constantly moving for "opportunity"--but when her aunt and uncle whisk her far away to an international school in Switzerland, she's not sure she's ready to face this "opportunity" alone.

Story
Love That Dog shows how one boy named Jack finds his voice with the help of a teacher, a pencil, some yellow paper, and, of course, a dog. Written as a series of free-verse poems from Jack's point of view, and with classic poetry included in the back matter, this novel is perfect for kids and teachers, too. Jack hates poetry. Only girls write it and every time he tries to, his brain feels empty. But his teacher, Miss Stretchberry, won't stop giving her class poetry assignments - and Jack can't avoid them.

Peoples are strange! The things they are doing and saying - sometimes they make no sense. Did their brains fall out of their heads? And why so much saying, so much talking all the time day and night, all those words spilling out of those mouths? Why so much? Why don't they be quiet? In the ancient stone tower of the Casa Rosa, in a tiny village high in the Swiss Alps, life for one angel has been the same, well, for as long as she (or he?) can remember.

Excellent Narration and an author you can relate too.
I loved hearing about Sal from Walk two moons and listening to Zinia’s story was so intriguing, just a real life feel of the thought and feelings excellently described, and performed by the narrator.

The narration is exquisite!
This has always been my favorite book. But for the first time I listened to it instead of reading it. The narrator knocked it out of the park! I absolutely love the way she told the story and the way she did different voices for different characters. Highly recommend!

Jake is a menace
A book about Jake's Marvelous Misadventures would go hard. I like to think that he is beyond this world and has no concept of right and wrong, he simply does. Jake is an anomaly in our universe, from a world we can't understand.
For real though it's kinda like a shorter Walk Two Moons. It's story isn't as in depth and there aren't as many moving parts but it's still a fun little story. I finished it in about 4 hours or so and I thought it was fun. This book would've been a great read when I was a kid.

Narrator perfects the story.
Sharon Creech is such a great writer and you probably have already read and loved this story as I had when I got the audible version. The voice of Zinnie is perfect! You won't be disappointed.
If you have never read this book, difinitely get this. It is such a sweet sweet story.

True love!
I love this book! The author paints such beautiful scenery and emotion throughout the pages, and this narrator brings it all happily into the world.
A coming of age story with so much to give each reader. Every life problem can be viewed from a different perspective and this book offers great connection between the problem and those who help solve it.
Worth a repeat listen!

ALMOST as good as “Walk Two Moons”
That pretty well says it. If you haven’t read”Walk Two Moons” I highly recommend it. A true story teller is this lady.
