Moonbeam Children's Book Awards Gold Medal winner for Pre-teen Fiction 2022.
Global Book Award Gold Medal winner in children's literature 2022.
A boy. A wish. A secret desire gone horribly wrong.
Timothy Sperling misses his mom and dad terribly. Left behind with his morose uncle while they're off on an expedition to avert an environmental crisis, the bird-boned boy would give anything to see them again. But when he spies a shooting star, instead of wishing to be reunited with his parents, he falters and asks for snow... only to conjure up a blizzard that won't quit!
As a town that never sees winter is buried in mountains of white, Timothy teams up with a wise explorer to figure out how to stop the relentless frozen flakes. And with all the blame being shoveled on his family, the clever kid's connection to sparrows may be his one chance to pull the city out of its deep freeze.
Can Timothy undo his fateful wish and bring back the sunshine?
Sparrow is a high-flying middle-grade novel. If you or your child like relatable characters, timeless settings, and high-stakes adventure, then you'll love Brian Kindall's feathered flurries.

Show moreBrian Kindall is an author living in the mountains of Central Idaho, a world with long winters perfectly designed for holing up and writing novels. He writes classic, evergreen middle-grade novels, two of which are BLUE SKY and PEARL. He's done some heartfelt research for this latest one, SPARROW, as he is a paraglider pilot himself and can often be seen soaring above the hills of southern Idaho with the eagles.
