Sept. 15, 7:00-8:30pm // Zenith Books, Duluth
Join Margi for the launch of her newest book, Windswept, a a gripping middle-grade fantasy about a girl who must save the children of her world from being “windswept."
In Tag’s world, children are disappearing. “Youngers” who venture Outside are windswept — vanishing in the swirling snow — 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 intent on keeping it that way.
Little remains from those times: snippets of songs, heaps of plastic trash, and a few banned texts—including a book of fairytales.
An unlikely crew of Youngers join forces — Boots, who can climb anything, Ant, who will eat anything, Ren, who will say anything, and Tag, who doesn’t appear to have any talent whatsoever. With their dubious skills, the fairytales, a possibly magic ribbon, and an unwillingness to accept “that’s impossible,” they set off to rescue their windswept siblings in this spellbinding fantasy.
Proof of COVID-19 vaccination is required to attend this event, as is the wearing of face masks over nose and mouth.
