A 5 Star Readers' Favorite, Wind is high fantasy similar to classics like The Wizard of Oz, Narnia and A Wrinkle in Time, with a contemporary environmental twist spiced with bits of mythology. Katie’s adventures begin when both an emotional shake-up in her personal life and an actual earthquake shake her up and she finds herself on another world. Thrust into a dangerous initiation quest, Katie’s only chance to get home is to learn to accept herself and cooperate with an arrogant alien boy. On the journey, the two of them encounter all sorts of extraordinary characters including a shape-shifting tree spirit, water god, and nature devas. But will Katie discover her talent in time to find the elusive and ethereal Winged Ones—the only beings able to take them home? “WIND is a swashbuckling ride that is filled with adventure, humor, and characters that fans of young adult fantasy will adore.” —The Book Commentary “A bright, vividly told tale that will bring readers closer to the natural world.” —Kirkus Reviews “This story helps us remember what is true.” —Elyse Pomeranz, Waldorf Educator and Mentor “Davidson delivers an entertaining story with a forward-moving balance of action and dialogue.” —BlueInk Reviews “This outstanding short work packs a lot of punch into a story that will appeal to young fantasy readers.” —Diane Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review “Katie is a spunky heroine who is easy to like.” —BookLife Prize “Ellen has written a mesmerizing adventure that takes us on a journey as potentially epic as The Wizard of Oz.” —Kathleen Brigidina, Tree Sisters Community Engagement Coordinator and Artist Liason "Rife with scientific facts about the Earth's ecosystem and woven as a tapestry like the elemental design of nature, with bits of Mexican and Irish history and heritage teachings, this book also offers a mirror into other cultures and into our own world." — Rachel McMahon, Kids Lit Book Cafe "4 out of 4 stars." — OnlineBookClub
