Publisher's summary

The children were waiting. Waiting for centuries. Waiting for someone to hear their cries. Now nine-year-old Christie Lyons has come to live in the house on the hill - the house where no children have lived for 50 years. Now little Christie will sleep in the old-fashioned nursery on the third floor. Now Christie's terror will begin...When the Wind Blows the children must die!

Slooooowwww

Story dragged, narrator didn't have good inflection and I don't consider animals being murdered to be entertaining. I usually like John Saul, but I didn't like this.

I read this a loooong time ago in high school. Was happy to find it here.
Emily did an amazing job of narrating the story.

Intriguing Captivating Story

Different type of story as to what I am used from John Saul but was still very intriguing and kept me wanting to read more and more. I always enjoy his writing style and this was no different. I highly recommend this book for all the John Saul fans.

Not the typical John Saul book

I had to force myself to get through this book. I love all of John Sauls books but this one falls short of good.
