Into the Wind

Into the Wind

Into the Wind is a character-driven middle-grade novel about the unlikely friendship between a 10-year-old boy and an elderly woman. The old woman badgers the boy into taking her sailing but the weather turns bad so it becomes a wild sail. Her last before she goes into the hospital: and not before the two of them share memories of their last sail together. Hazel helps build the boy's confidence during a tough time in his home life. Both moving and joyful, Into the Wind is a poignant story about loss and love in a boy’s life, and the surprising and sustaining bonds that can grow between the old and young.
