Wind Singer, The
Overview
The Smarties Award-winning novel, read by the author.
"I hate school! I hate ratings! I won't reach higher! I won't strive harder! I won't make tomorrow better than today!"
In the walled city of Aramanth, exams are everything – not only for children, but for whole families. When Kestrel Hath dares to rebel, the Chief Examiner humiliates her father and sentences the family to the harshest punishment.
Desperate to save them, Kestrel discovers that life in Aramanth was once different – and if she can find the secret of the Wind Singer, maybe life can change for the better once more. So she and her twin brother, Bowman, set out on a terrifying journey – to the true source of the evil that grips Aramanth…
In this epic adventure, Kestrel and Bowman's journey is filled with magic and action, a testament to Nicholson's ability to weave a gripping narrative. The dystopian setting of Aramanth, once a place of hope and prosperity, now serves as a chilling backdrop to this children's fantasy.
For fans of Michelle Paver (Thin Air), Anthony Horowitz (With a Mind to Kill), Philip Pullman (The Rose Field), Joan Aiken (The Girl from Paris), and Leigh Bardugo (Rule of Wolves).
