Song of the Sparrow

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Song of the Sparrow young adult novel by Lisa Ann Sandell, an author whose notability I also doubt. The page for the novel was started by an SPA the year the novel was published, sourced only to the author, publisher, blogs and bookstores. It has sold some copies on Amazon.com, where real people appear to have reviewed it. I did find a review on the blog bookslut and on other Blogs/websites: [1], [2], [3] but have turned up no coverage/reviews in anything that I can identify as an edited publication.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:50, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I had to dig pretty deep for sources since the majority of them don't show up in a regular search. I actually had to use a school database to find most of these. It also didn't help that the article had some pretty big WP:OR vibes going on with various sections, which I've removed. In any case, there's enough here now to where it'd pass NBOOK.
