Sparrow has always had a difficult time making friends. She would always rather have stayed home on the weekends with her mother, an affluent IT Executive at a Manhattan bank, reading, or watching the birds, than playing with other kids. And that's made school a lonely experience for her. It's made LIFE a lonely experience.
But when the one teacher who really understood her -- Mrs. Wexler, the school librarian, a woman who let her eat her lunch in the library office rather than hide in a bathroom stall, a woman who shared her passion for novels and knew just the ones she'd love -- is killed in a freak car accident, Sparrow's world unravels and she's found on the roof of her school in an apparent suicide attempt.
With the help of an insightful therapist, Sparrow finally reveals the truth of her inner life. And it's here that she discovers an outlet in Rock & Roll music...
Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
They find her on the edge of the roof of her school. No one believes that she wasn't about to jump.
But then again, no one knows Sparrow very well.
She keeps good grades. She keeps to herself. Though she wishes she could find a friend, she has no idea how that might happen.
So sometimes she goes where the birds gather and she waits, waits for them to come get her, gather her up, take her with them, take her high above the school, above the city, above the crowds. For those few moments she’s not alone, closed in.
But Sparrow begins to discover something else inside her -- a music, a song that grows in power, if only she can let it be a bridge.
Sparrow's voice is beautiful, funny, raw, and heartbreakingly direct. Her journey is a quest for connection, for survival, that will leave no reader unmoved.
