Description
On a remote Scottish island, fourteen-year-old Max’s life changes forever when he loses his hearing in a boating accident. Struggling to make sense of his new life and finding it hard to adapt in school, he begins to notice strange things happening when a new wind farm appears off the island’s coast.
With the help of three school friends with additional support needs, Max discovers that a sinister scientist is using wind turbines to experiment on the islanders. They must find a way to shut down this secret test before it spins out of control.

Victoria Williamson
War of the Wind is a teen eco-thriller from award-winning author Victoria Williamson, whose previous books include The Fox Girl and the White Gazelle, The Boy with the Butterfly Mind, and Hag Storm. Victoria grew up in Kirkintilloch, north Glasgow, surrounded by hills and books, and started writing adventure stories at an early age, with plots and characters mostly stolen from her favourite novels and TV shows! These days her stories are all my own, featuring the voices of some of the many children she’s met over the years on her real-life adventures around the world.
