She comes to accept the explanation that she was young and seeking attention, insecure because her younger brother took her parent’s attention away from her. Tash spends the next few years until high school trying to come to terms with what happened. Then one day she sees him lure little Melanie Fisher away from a carnival, and when the girl is found a week later she is traumatised and unable to speak. Not only can no one else see him, but Tash is terrified by the things he does and has no control over when he appears. But Sparrow isn’t like other imaginary friends. Tash Carmody is a high school student who has been traumatised since childhood when a fateful visit to her aunt’s farm property led to the appearance of Sparrow, Tash’s imaginary friend. Small Spaces by Sarah Epstein is described as a YA-thriller and I for one am extremely excited to see this sub-genre develop. This novel was highly-recommended by several of my well-read friends, and the clincher finally came when one of them gave me the book as a leaving-work present.
