Bookroo's summary
Flora's little brother, Crispin, is swept away by a magical wind, presenting her with a unique opportunity: to give him away. Tempting offers come from a dragonfly, the man in the moon, and even the wind itself. As Flora navigates these choices, she must decide if she truly wants to part with Crispin forever. Will she seize the chance to be rid of him, or will sibling bonds prove stronger than her frustrations? Discover the surprising twists in this whimsical tale of family and unexpected decisions.
From the publisher
When a big wind blows away her annoying little brother Crispin, Flora decides to save him despite the many tempting offers she gets for him from, among others, a cloud, an eagle, the man in the moon and the wind itself.
