Sparrow Road
"Sparrow Road...is suffused with a sense of longing, the same wistful atmosphere surrounding the characters in this beautifully written novel.... Readers finding themselves in this quiet world will find plenty of space to imagine and dream for themselves." --Kirkus Starrred Review"That O'Connor can write a book with essentially only one young character and have the result be a timeless piece of middle-grade fiction is a tribute to her understanding that emotions are universal, no matter how old we are, and that art is a balm that has the ability to soothe all wounds. A special book". Booklist Starred Review"...the strength of even imperfect human connections is celebrated through the relationships among a multitude of vivid and varied characters." -- RecommendedThe Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"Lyrical writing in this first-person narrative, good character development, and a sympathetic heroine will keep readers absorbed." -- School Library Journal"...an altogether captivating quest."Statesman--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
