From Newbery Honor-winner Margi Preus, a gripping middle-grade fantasy
about a girl who must save the children of her world from being
"windswept"
In Tag's world, children are disappearing. "Youngers" who venture
Outside are windswept--vanishing in the swirling snow--Tag's sisters
among them. Many have tried to find the lost children; all have failed.
And since the Other Times, the Powers That Be seem intent on keeping it
that way.
Little remains from those times: snippets of songs, heaps of plastic
trash, and a few banned texts--including a book of fairytales.
An unlikely crew of Youngers join forces--Boots, who can climb anything,
Ant, who will eat anything, Ren, who will say anything, and Tag, who
doesn't appear to have any talent whatsoever. With their dubious skills,
the fairytales, a possibly magic ribbon, and an unwillingness to accept
"that's impossible," they set off to rescue their windswept siblings in
this spellbinding fantasy from Newbery Honor winner Margi Preus.
