The wind singer

We read this is class in year 8 (12 years old) and we found it a lovely book to read and just the right age for us. The end was a bit rushed though, so that was disappointing, but overall a brilliant book!!! (the second one is my favorite though!!)

I really enjoyed this book, the pages just flew by, letting me be in this imagined world where although colours matter, family and friends matter more
