Product Description
Product Description
Set in the Western Isles, Windscape is an exciting children's adventure that explores the dilemma between the usefulness of wind farms and the beautiful scenery they can sometimes destroy. Jenny MacLeod's mother has died and her father is about to lose their farm after mounting debts. The only way for her and her father to keep their home, set on the beautiful Hushwish Bay, is to sign up to a wind turbine project. When protestors invade their beach and her father has a heart attack, the well-to-do Murdochs take Jenny under their wing. She soon finds out, however, that Mr Murdoch has been keeping letters back from her and her father. Letters that could have saved their home without the need to build the wind farms there in the first place. Will Jenny have time to save everything she loves?

After reading THE MAGIC SCALES, by Sam Wilding, I got stuck into this one. It's not full of magic and wild monsters but it got me thinking about wind power, relationships and my topic at school - new energy. Mr Wilding has a great story here. He sticks to a simple story but the story takes over and I couldn't stop thinking about the characters. I hope there is another one coming.

Mr.Wilding has worked his magic, yet again. I think Windscape is a very good book, although the plot was a bit young for me,(I'm 12) personally. It's a believable, fun and exciting read. As soon as I got it home I began to read, and found it was one of those books that you can't put down until you've finished it.
My favourite character is Pavol, the Polish boy. He is a funny, yet exciting character.

Having read most of Sam Wilding's books, I was disappointed, at first, to learn that this was one without his usual magical spells and scary monsters. It was, however, a fantastic story that drew me in and got me thinking. No wonder so many schools are studying this book. Topical issues and a superb thriller.
