"The Wind Child will delight dedicated readers who like their fiction infused with timeless magic."- Love Reading 4 Kids "Packed with a colourful Slavic cast of tempestuous gods and frightening monsters, The Wind Child is above all a story about friendship, and how far you would go and what you would sacrifice to avoid saying goodbye to someone you love."- Toppsta "A fast paced and enthralling adventure story, with a huge amount of action and some strong and likeable characters".- Books for Keeps

Continuing our adventures with Mara and Torniv, Houston takes us on another absolutely compelling adventure filled with delightfully artful prose. Whilst the first book dealt with Grief, and the burden it takes, especially on those we believe cannot comprehend, this second book revolves around the meaning of family, where our decisions may take us, and the power loyalty can hold. Houston is clearly within her element whilst continuing her work with Slavic inspiration, and I found the book to be a perfect sequel, and closing chapter to Mara's story. An easy recommendation for any child who wishes to be whisked away into another realm on an adventure.
