I absolutely loved this book. It was so good and it felt like I was in the journey with Kess,Bowman and Mumpo. It was fiction and my favourite character was Kestrel because she was brave no matter what and she always stuck together with her brother. I would definitely recommend this book to children aged 10+, it is fantastic and fun to read aswell .

This book is about two twins who have to find the "voice" of the wind singer in order to make it sing again. However, a ruthless army- The Zars- are advancing towards their hometown of Aramanth. I'd rate this book 4 stars as it was extremely exciting and I couldn't put it down!
