Awesome charactors, awesome plot May 15 1998
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I loved the plot in Wind Shifter because it had sort of a surprise ending, or I, at least, didn't expect it. I loved the fantasy setting and all the charactors.

An enjoyable young adult fantasy. May 6 1998
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Wind Shifter is a well-written fantasy novel for upper elementary or junior high school children. The protagonist is an adolescent girl who resents that her training to be a wizard sometimes takes second place to duties in the kitchen, while her companion male apprentice is able to focus on his studies. She's an appealing and believable heroine, who learns much about herself as she undertakes an adventure which takes her to the land of the neighbouring Ugliks - a people who have been demonized in the legends and stories of her people, the Freyans. She discovers that although they look different they are really just people with all the sames emotions and problems as herself. In the denouement she is able to use both her wizardly powers and her new self-knowledge to bring a peaceful resolution to a potential conflict between the Ugliks and Freyans. My son thoroughly enjoyed this thoughtful book, as did several other children of his acquaintance. I think it would speak even more to girls because of the issues it brings forward.
