A boy. A wish. A secret desire gone horribly wrong.

Timothy Sperling misses his mom and dad terribly. Left behind with his miserable uncle while they’re off on an expedition to put right a crime against nature, the bird-boned boy would give anything to see them again. But when he spies a shooting star, he fears wishing to be reunited with his parents is too selfish and instead asks for snow… only to conjure up a blizzard.

As a town that never sees winter is buried in mountains of white, Timothy teams up with a wise explorer to figure out how to stop the relentless frozen flakes. And with all the blame being shoveled on his family, the clever kid’s connection to sparrows may be his one chance to pull the city out of its deep freeze.

Can Timothy undo his fateful wish and bring back the sunshine?
