Description:
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 under the age of 15 are kept locked indoors. Those who do venture Outside are windswept—disappearing in the midst of snow squalls—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 strangely intent to keep it that way.All that remains from those Other Times are snippets of songs, way too much plastic trash, and a few forbidden books—including the fairy tales Tag stumbles upon. That book, a mysterious invitation, and a possibly magic hair ribbon set Tag and an unlikely crew of "youngers" on a perilous quest to find their windswept siblings. To save their future they must face invisible pursuers, various bewitchments, and ravenously hungry trolls, and, at every turn, risk being windswept themselves.
