Summary

Catch the wind. Find your freedom.

A riveting, magical adventure set deep underneath a richly reimagined London for 9+ readers.

Kidnapped and forced to shovel coal underneath a half-bombed, blackened power station, 12-year-old Luke's life is miserable. Then, he discovers he can see things others can't. Ghostly things. Specifically, a ghost-girl named Alma. Alma, who can ride clouds through the night sky and bend their shape to her will, befriends Luke. And with Alma's help, Luke discovers he is in fact a rare being—half-human and half-something else ...

Then Luke learns the terrible truth of why children are being kidnapped and forced to work in the power station, and he becomes even more desperate to escape.

Can Luke find out who he really is ... and find his freedom?

very good

Spooky and exciting and original. Excellent story. rather dark scary themes - but most kids stories seem to be this way these days!

Thrilling story set in London

A fantastic book set in a smoggy alternative London where children shovel coal to power the city. With a brilliantly horrid villain and a lead character who has to discover who he really is to save the day with a little help from his friends. A beautiful and hopeful story which left room for a sequel that I hope will be out soon!

The audio book was really well performed.
