Chasing Redbird, by Sharon Creech

Which minor character in this book would you like to know more about? If there were a whole book about them, what would it be called?


I would like to learn more about Uncle Nate. I would like to learn more about Uncle Nate's personality. For example, there have been tragic events in this book and you can see that Uncle Nate is upset but I would like to know more about his stream of thoughts. Uncle Nate's younger life is talked about in the book, but I feel there are some missing pieces about it. I would like to find out more information about his life close to the time he met Aunt Jessie. If there were to be a book about him, it would be called The Redbird's Mate. In conclusion, I would like to discover more about this interesting character.
