Sparrow Dalton is the odd one out in her neighborhood. However, she is not friendless. She has The Boy to keep her company, a spirit that only Sparrow can see. So, when her mother dies, Sparrow believes she can bring her mother’s spirit back. When Sparrow is confronted with a difficult choice, she will have to choose between her happiness, and the happiness of another.
I loved this book. It was a beautiful story of what it means to lose someone close and still find your footing in life. Mature Content is PG because it does talk about getting over personal loss and being alienated by those around you.
