The House in Windward Leaves
The House in Windward Leaves
Katherine L. Holmes (author)
Product Description
At this Halloween party, costumes make the child.
Transformed during an enchanted journey, Lushina children try out their dreamed identities. Halloween night, the wayward Sadie leads her friends past cardboard cut-outs of the painter Mistral and a lady at the leaf-covered house on Windward Road. A wall mural transports them to a Halloween party on a star where their costumes become real.
As Fortuneteller, Sadie only has to look in her crystal ball to help the others with their transformations. Her friend Candy has become the Homecoming Queen. The neighbor boy has become George Washington and his brother is a musician in the star band.
Other children in Sadie's grade school make up a bizarre community of star people who crown the Queen and watch the President's revolt. That begins the adventures of Sadie and her enchanted friends. Then Mistral's woman friend finds that her star-of-sapphire necklace is missing. The found thief confesses that he stole it for a treasure hunt that takes up the latter chapters of this madcap fantasy.

Review
"When fantasy becomes reality, everything grows quite confusing. The House in Windward Leaves tells the story of a mural making a group of children's Halloween costumes turn real. Sadie must assist her friends in this world of fantasy to embrace their dreams yet still somehow get home through it all. The House in Windward Leaves is a thrilling tale of young adult fiction, highly recommended." - The Midwest Book Review
