Kindall, Brian: - Brian Kindall is an author living in the mountains of Central Idaho, a world with long winters perfectly designed for holing up and writing novels. He writes classic, evergreen middle-grade novels, two of which are BLUE SKY and PEARL. He's done some heartfelt research for this latest one, SPARROW, as he is a paraglider pilot himself and can often be seen soaring above the hills of southern Idaho with the eagles.
