review of Dale Peck's Sprout

The voice of this book is iron clad and cannot be broken.  The same can be said for the protagonist Daniel aka Sprout.  He leaves his mark behind of green fingerprints of everything that he touches.  He is incredibly smart and carries around a dictionary like it’s his favorite fiction book.  Sprout is a fascinating character who draws the reader in with his quick wit and unique view of the world. 

The tone and voice of the book remind me of Chris Colfer’s Struck By Lightning.  This boy is far more lost regarding himself.  His life is worse off by far.  They are both the type of voices that people need to hear in order to understand that there are different ways of life and thinking.
