(3) 4-6 After her beloved mother dies, outcast Sparrow lives with her cold aunt and a ghost boy near the Everglades. Grieving Sparrow makes friends with other outsiders, solves the mystery of her ghost friend, and eventually moves forward. Sparrow's growing sense of belonging gives the story heart, while the atmospheric Florida marsh and small-town class prejudices (both historical and present-day) sharpen its setting.
