There is the fascinating setting of Africa, the colors, sounds and smells described in loving detail; the farm with the main house, the gardens and huts, the animals, the juxtaposition of beauty and danger always present. Remember, Little Feather, that you must not forget to eat for two; the one that you are now and the one that you are to be.” His feelings, uncensored and raw, had to serve as Ouwa’s end-of-term report in this examination room of time..." Other than that minor negative, I quite enjoyed this story. In my view it is probably a young adult focused or suitable book. The protagonist of the book is a boy of 13, and it includes themes of growing up, coming of age, as well as hunting, isolated rural life etc, and while there an unrealistic adult level of maturity and understanding shown, it works at an inspirational level for youth.The third novel in the gripping supernatural thriller series from international bestselling author Jodi Taylor, perfect for fans of Sarah Painter, Genevieve Cogman and Ben Aaronovitch.

The night of London's grandest ball, a bold group of women downstairs launch a daring revenge heist against Mayfair society in this dazzling historical novel about power, gender, and class. This tale can, and should, be consumed in one sitting, even for the busiest of children or young teens. A Story Like The Wind features 14 year old Rami who is escaping his war torn homeland with a handful of strangers in a tiny boat on a vicious sea. Rami carries nothing but his violin. To give everyone hope through the long, turbulent night when their outboard engine has died, he plays and his music tells a story. The story is of a Mongolian boy and his untameable white stallion; a metaphor for a violence riddled country and the unbreakable spirit of its people despite all odds. This tale within a tale is truly heartwarming and heartwrenching at the same time.On a boat drifting in the cold waters of the Mediterranean, dozens of Middle-Eastern refugees, young and old, cling to one another, waiting for the uncertainty that haunts their future to be put to rest. Human beings, he stressed, always knew more than they allowed themselves to know. One of the things they never knew clearly enough was the power they possessed of overcoming problems even if they were thrice the size of Uprooter of Great Trees." Not since reading A Monster Calls has a book moved me like A Story Like The Wind by Gill Lewis, illustrated by Jo Weaver.
