The Truth About Sparrows Audiobook

" A slow, introspective story about a 12 year old girl and her family during the depression. "

" I picked up this book thinking it was the same author of Princess Acadamey but it wasn't. It was still a really good read. "

" I gave this book four stars because I could never do all the things they had to do. I think sadie is much braver than I will ever be and I wish I could be more like her. I liked the unexpected parts that you didn't see coming. She has to take care of all her siblings and go to a new school. "

" I just liked this book. Heartwarming, thoughtful, a bit melancholy, and real. I could see myself in Sadie - more than once her reactions or feelings in certain situations, her questions, her doubts and fears seemed all too familiar. I was so glad she had her family and friends to help her realize her potential and goodness. "

" Really enjoyed this book. About a family in the depression who lost a lot but never their dignity. Also about a young girl coming to terms with the changing circumstances of her family. Loved it -thanks Kristi "

" I have missed the characters in this book since I finished the last page. It drew me right in. Another juvenile novel. I connected to the storyline in many ways. "

" This book gave me an interesting insight on the Great Depression. I really liked it and it was a quick read. "

" This was a good little book that showed the living conditions some families had to endure during the depression from the perspective of a young girl. "

" The writing was fantastic. I love historical fiction more than any other genre, and this did not disappoint. It truly brought the Great Depression to life. "

" Did not like it and did not finish it. "

" Of course anything after my "Phantom" high was going to be a bit mundane, but this was a good choice to bring me back down. A lovely book about the reality of the Depression and hope. I liked this book. "

" So this book is about a girl named Sadie who had to move to Texas because of the Dust Bowl, and she is NOT happy. She had to leave her BBFL, and her house and school....etc. It's an ok book, I had to read it last year for Social Studies and it was ok. "

" This was an interesting story about a family moving to Texas during the depression. I thought that the mention of the sparrow in the title and in the book wasn't prominent enough in the story. "

" All said, I would probably give this book a 3.75 - why does Good Reads not have half or quarter star ratings??? This is a book written for tween/young teenage readers about a young girl facing hardship through The Depression. It was easy reading,had a good moral, and overall was pretty good. "

" I really enjoyed this book. Bless the author for writing such a faith promoting, heart warming, lesson learning book. Amen is all I can say to everything contained in the book. "

" What a good book. Makes me greatful for all the things that I have. The only part of the book that might be a little mature for young adults, is when Sadies mom gives birth. Otherwise good book for kids to understand about the depression, friendship and being greatful for what you have. "

" This book is one of my favorites.. i read it in eight grade and i fell in love with it.. is just amazing "

" Amazing book. It is a must read. Hale is an awesome author. "

" Threw it out with great force, a la Dorothy Parker! "

" I love this book! Taking place during the Great Depression, The Truth About Sparrows creates a whole new world where if you can't make do with what you have, you don't survive. It teaches you that you can be happy with very little. As long as you have your family and friends, you'll be okay. "

" This was a really good and sad book. Really worth reading. "

" I thought this was a great story. Simple, sweet and with a happy ending. It is the story of 12-year-old Sadie whose family packs up and moves to Texas in 1933 when they can no longer make a living in Missouri. I thought it was a fun piece of historical fiction written for upper elementary grades. "

" I totally enjoyed this story. I am so glad I pick it up to read. It was very heartwarming. Can't imagine what Sadie had to go through. This is the second book by this author that I have read. I hope there will be more. "

" Great story. One of my favorites "

" I loved this book! When I find a good book, I make certian that I find all of the others the author wrote. I've read all three of Marian Hale's no els, and enjoyed all of them. The Truth About Sparrows just happens to be my favorite! "

" What a good book. Makes me greatful for all the things that I have. The only part of the book that might be a little mature for young adults, is when Sadies mom gives birth. Otherwise good book for kids to understand about the depression, friendship and being greatful for what you have. "
