A review by nuwandalice
The Wind Singer by William Nicholson

4.0

I think the last time I reread this series as an adult was over 10 years ago, so felt like I was due a revisit. I loved these books as a kid. I’m genuinely quite upset that they don’t seem to have left a lasting mark on YA despite being classic YA before YA was really even a thing. (Although perhaps for a slightly younger audience than a lot of YA aims for now?)

It’s very strange and the plot is both bland and bonkers at the same time, but I found it just as charming as I ever have.

(I had fully forgotten how much time Mumpo spends high as a kite on some kind of underground mud plant, which is wild)
