Kestrel Hath's schoolroom rebellion against the stifling caste system of Aramanth leads to explosive consequences for her and her family: they are relegated to the city's lowest caste and are ostracized. With nothing left to lose, Kestrel and her twin brother, Bowman, do the unthinkable: they leave the city walls. Their only hope to rescue the rest of their family is to find the key to the wind singer, a now-defunct device in the city's center, which was once the course of happiness and harmony in Aramanth. But the key was given to an evil spirit-lord, the Morah, in exchange for the Morah's calling off its terrible army of Zars. Armed with desperate bravery, wits, and determination, Kestrel, Bowman, and a tagalong classmate set off to find the key. Along the way they meet allies and foes, but in order to succeed in their quest, they must face the most sinister force of all: the powerful Morah.

Awe-inspiring,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Wind Singer (The Wind On Fire Trilogy, Book 1) (Paperback)
This trilogy is simply amazing. It carries you to another world and time. Well written and thought provoking the wind on fire trilogy is meant for those who can enjoy a teak-jerker story. It was breath-taking, much more in depth and beautiful than Harry Potter. Its in the style of high fantasy, without the complexity of creatures and history.

Wonderful Book,
By Kayla Aitkens (Columbia, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wind Singer (The Wind On Fire Trilogy, Book 1) (Paperback)
When I was younger I borrowed and read the whole Wind On Fire Trilogy and loved it. I wanted to have a copy of my own and I had to purchase it once I found such a great price for it online. Reading it again was a pleasure and I'm pleased that I will have this book to read over and over again, as well as for my kids when they get older. The seller shipped this item quickly and it came in wonderful condition. I would definitely recommend this book to any young reader (or any other reader for that matter) who is looking for a good book to read.

A Beautiful Begining,
By Sofia Novozilova (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wind Singer (The Wind On Fire Trilogy, Book 1) (Paperback)
Wow! This was a fantasy book unlike any other I have read. Nicholson's highly imaginative story drew me in and didn't let me go. The main characters are beautiful and I found myself wishing that I knew them in real life. The idea behind the plot is both dazzling and terrifying at the same time. Although this takes place in a world we may not recognize at first, it echoes of our own and paints a clear picture of our own societies mis-steps.
