«Sterling and the Canary» is Andy Stanton's children's and young adult humor novel, published by Barrington Stoke in 2011 in paperback (58 pages, in English).
Sterling Thaxton, the most popular boy at school, falls for Lizzie Harris, the new student. She ignores him, so a yellow canary appears with advice to help him. What follows is a zany comedy of mix-ups and wordplay, with a romance narrated with irony, very much in the vein of the Mr Gum series' humor.
The illustrations are by Ross Collins. Barrington Stoke is a publisher specializing in accessible reads for children and young people, with a stated reading age of 10 to 13.
Aimed at young readers, especially those who are reluctant to read or have reading difficulties.
