A trio of siblings move into a new house after their father has an incident that costs him his career. They are confronted by the "Wind Witch", a woman after a cursed book that she can't touch. She whisks the siblings off into a fantastical realm in an effort to force them to retrieve the book for her.

I read this many years ago to a group of younglings and they loved it. It's a grand adventure that explores many different topics including (but not limited to) loss, selfish desire, young romance, independence, managing a learning disability, family drama, etc.

I enjoyed the development of the characters and the plot, which ends on a cliffhanger (yeah, it's one of those). At times though, the characters were a bit wooden and seemed defined by stereotypical expectations. It's easy to overlook those moments though through the exciting adventure, especially if you try to read it from the perspective of a younger, more imaginative reader. 

I mean, personally, I can think of multiple books that I daydreamed of getting stuck in and can think of far more I would be horrified to transport to. It's both a fascinating and terrifying idea that captures your attention and holds it until the last page. 

Planning on rereading the other two as well, but would recommend this one.
