Title: Disappointing!
Product review: The Wind Singer by William Nicholson was an unexecptional fantasy, parts of which were downright banal. As the author is an experienced screen writer, one would expect more freshness in plot and dialog. Instead, parts of it read as if it were written by the 7-10 age group, instead of written for them.The book started with promise, but became mired in cliches, well-known plot devices and too many unbelievable things--too many even for a fantasy. It is the first of a trilogy, but I have no intention of reading the rest. If you are looking for fresh, interesting children's fantasy, stick to Harry Potter or give The Thief Lord a try.
