Publisher's Synopsis
A soaring bed sheet carries a young boy on three incredible adventures in this compelling debut by acclaimed film director Gary Ross.
It was a cold bitter wind, and it blew ... and it blew... It blew through the trees and the little town, too. 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 bed sheet 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 grey, 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?
