(3) YA Wind on Fire Trilogy series. Illustrated by Peter Si­s. Fans of The Wind Singer will be pleased with this sequel, which contains the same sweeping sense of adventure. When Ortiz of the Mastery raids Manth and takes its citizens as slaves, Kestrel is separated from everyone else and ends up traveling in a caravan with a princess who is on her way to marry Ortiz. The book comes to a thrilling conclusion, but readers will have to wait for Book Three to tie up loose ends.
