awesome

Well I guess this is why they give out the free trial because I will be using this app every day :)

Still my favorite a decade later

I first read this series in high school when I discovered the first book in our library. I loved it then, and reread the series dozens of times. Hearing this was a wonderful experience that brought back good memories of why I love these books so much. Wonderefully narrated. Thank you!

An Overlooked Masterpiece

The Wind Singer is an amazing children's book that doesn't have to be just for children. It is emotional and unique, not a rehashed story that's already been told. It is a fantasy story, though I think it falls more in the realm of dystopic fiction, without the harsh, futuristicness that is so often encountered in that genre. I recommend this book to anyone who has ever enjoyed YA lit at any point in their lives.

Delightfully Unique

This book was my childhood. It was so different than every other story, I love it! Great writing and an awesome story. I enjoyed it also as an adult, but it's easy enough for any young or old reader to find thrilling.

Still A Wonderful Book

It is a meaningful story with an adventure of variety. I read it in my youth and enjoyed it again as an audiobook.
