I am an adult, and I understand that this is middle grade fiction. Yet it surpasses that description. While the struggles I faced a child are nothing like the struggles that Sparrow faces in this book, I was taken back to that uncomfortable time and the need to have people to trust in. Now, as an adult, I understand even better why I need to be that person for the youth in my life.

But lest one think this is just some sort of object lesson, one must know it is also a captivating story. I typically listen to audiobooks only during my commute because I don't have time to just sit and read, but I found myself finding excuses to listen to this at every turn because I could not press pause.

This book is amazing, and I recommend it for your child. There is so much they will be able to relate to, even if their surroundings and situations are different. It will also help them understand others they may encounter. I recommend this for adults because it is a story that will sti k with you, making your soul feel a little bit richer.

This may be a story intended to be middle grade fiction, but it is a story that I think anyone would enjoy. from the Appalachian setting to the feuding families to the personal stories of the main characters the story is amazing. lots of humor, heart and thrills! it had me in tears more than once and left me with a smile!
