The Wind Singer by William Nicholson
3.0
Ok so I read the synopsis and was like “oh yeah this looks like my jam” ... so I got my hands on the trilogy AND I should have done my research because this would def fall into a tween dystopian category.
There are some very scary themes going on for kids, but it has a juvenile comedic value to it all. Bowman and Kestral are twins, and Mumpo is a snot faced kid who gets bullied a lot and doesn’t really understand why. The three of them set off to save their city by getting the mysterious wind singer going again. I have A LOT of questions but can’t ask them without a *spoiler alert* warning.
For a tween read, I think it would be something the kids would enjoy if this was their genre preference. For that I would give it a 4 out of 5 stars for the tween factor.
As an adult I probably wouldn’t have chosen to read this BUT in saying that I might tuck them away for when my kids are old enough to appreciate them.
My adult rating would be a 3 out of 5 ⭐️
