YA
Illustrated by
Peter Sis.
After Kestrel's rebellious behavior lands her family in trouble, she and her twin brother, accompanied by a classmate, escape their strictly regimented city and set off to find the voice of the wind singer--a statue that used to sing but now stands silent. Plot elements don't always fit logically within the framework of the story, but the cinematic scale of the fantasy will keep readers interested.
