Couldn't put it down!

Sparrow was a page turner for me. The main character, Kendall, goes through so much, but is able to remain strong and form meaningful friendships. Her memories of her family are so vivid, and her emotions are so real, that I couldn't stop reading. I also enjoyed the blues music references and the setting and dialogues are engaging. Thanks Sherri Smith for another great story!

Couldn't put it down...

This story is about a teenage girl, Kendall, crossing over to adulthood. She is forced to deal with some very grown up problems after the death of her grandmother. I enjoyed reading this book because the characters are very realistic. Kendall is very strong and determined do what has to be done. She also very honestly shares her fears and insecurities with the reader. This book reminds me of how much my family influences my life and that family is made up of more than just blood relatives.
