Children's and Middle Grade
Timothy is left behind with his morose uncle while his parents go off on an expedition to avert an environmental crisis. Missing them terribly, he makes a wish on a star that ends up in disaster - a blizzard that won't quit. Tim, his friends the sparrows, and an explorer team up to stop the snow.
