The Wind on the Moon

---

The Wind on the Moon, written by Eric Linklater and published as part of The New York Review Children's Collection, is a celebrated Carnegie Medal-winning fantasy novel. The story centers on two energetic and naughty sisters, Dinah and Dorinda, who fail to heed a magical warning about bad behavior when the wind blows on the moon. Consequentially, they swallow a magical potion that turns them into kangaroos, lead a revolt at a local zoo, and travel to the fictional land of Bombardy. There, they pull off an audacious plan to rescue their father, Major Palfrey, from the dungeon of the tyrant Count Hulagu Bloot. Rich in wit, humor, and imaginative absurdity, the novel celebrates loyalty, sisterhood, and freedom.
