Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Kelson moved to Sparrow from California after his sister died. He is staying with his aunt and uncle on their farm where he feels completely out of his element. He doesn’t know what to do when given chores and his younger cousins laugh at him. His uncle doesn’t want to let him help most of the time. Kelson constantly feels useless. In fact what Kelson thinks as a failure on his part becomes the best thing that could have happened. He went to work for Jagger at the junkyard. While there, he found a hidden treasure that helps with his plan to stop the Bullets and their bullying ways.
Kelson also becomes intrigued with his neighbor Madilyn and takes on her problems too. He becomes the town hero when he stands up for what is right. He is determined to save the town of Sparrow and the people who live in it.
With this book, you instantly feel for the characters. They all have secrets that they try to hide. It was a journey for Kelso to figure out what was really going on in the small town of Sparrow. He also had to forgive himself and moved passed the tragedies in his own life.
Standing up for other people who are being bullied is an excellent message to send readers. With this story it makes you think that you never know what drives a bully. The author wrote a storyline filled with complex family relationships, heartbreak, despair, fear and hope. It was an intriguing YA story. I give it a 4 out of 5.
