Description
A character-driven 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 when the weather turns bad, it becomes a wild sail. It becomes the last trip before she goes into the hospital where she dies: but 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.
Advance Praise
"A moving, well-written tale about an unusual friendship."
-- Kirkus Reviews
"What keeps Into the Wind sailing along from the opening chapter until the last? Tenderness. It’s at the center of this powerful story about a boy with some family troubles and his unexpected friendship with a spirited old woman. Tough things happen in young Rusty’s life but his relationships—with his beloved sailboat, his family, his new friend—sustain him and, in turn, left me feeling buoyed and deeply satisfied."
--- Esther Ehrlich , Author of Nest
