From the Publisher
A soaring bedsheet carries a young boy on three incredible
adventures in this compelling debut by acclaimed film director Gary
Ross.
Bartholomew Biddle's life has always been pretty ordinary, but when
a huge wind blows past his window one night, he feels the call of
adventure - and he can't resist the urge to grab his bedsheet and
catch a ride. Soon he's soaring far above his little town, heading
wherever the wind takes him! After spending time on an island full
of pleasure-seeking pirates and at a prep school that boasts a
hundred shades of gray, Bart finds himself in a mysterious cove
where the wind doesn't blow. Stuck, Bart is forced to face the fact
that his flying days might be over. Will he ever get home again?
