Publisher's Summary:
Evolved Publishing presents the first thrilling installment of the Chosen series by award-winning author Jeff Altabef and his daughter Erynn Altabef.
This fantasy adventure series is steeped in American Indian culture and so much more.
Juliet Wildfire Stone hears voices and sees visions, but she can't make out what they mean. Her eccentric grandfather tells her stories about the Great Wind Spirit and Coyote, but he might as well be speaking another language. None of it makes any sense. When she stumbles upon a series of murders, she can't help but worry her grandfather might be involved. To discover the truth, Juliet must choose between her new life at an elite private school and her Native American heritage. Once she uncovers an ancient secret society formed over two hundred years ago to keep her safe, she starts to wonder whether there's some truth to those old stories her grandfather has been telling her.

Original and engaging YA novel
I enjoy the YA genre so much as I find that it isn't marred by so many of the adult themes of other genres. There are some great series in this genre and I enjoyed "Wind Catcher" so much. The first book in the "Chosen" series, this one is the story of sixteen year old Juliet. Half native American, Juliet just wants to be like the other teenage girls, but finds out that this isn't going to be possible as her family has secrets and she has some powers that she can only avoid learning about for so long. This was a great read about self-discovery that had elements of fantasy, sci fi, adventure, mystery, coming of age and so much more. I loved the surprising revelation in the book that sets this up to be a pretty exciting series.
Its a change....interesting
Juliet is a girl, barely old enough to know better. She attends a snotty rich kids school and her best friend is Troy. Her father is in prison for murder and her mother is a lawyer. Her grandfather, who is a medicine man for the tribe helped raise her. She was fine at her old school, but her mother, Summer, wanted more for her. But she's a half breed, and doesn't exactly fit in anywhere.
The voices in her head and the headaches get worse as time goes by. Sicheii is what she calls her grandfather. Now she gets annoyed by the Indian ways, but Troy lives close to the reservation and he sometimes gets annoyed with her. When Sicheii tells her she needs to listen to the voices, and then she finds she is the Chosen one, things start to change.
Julia is kidnapped, but managed to escape. But how did she?? Slowly, it all comes together, but not until she suffers a great loss.
Its an interesting story, but not my usual. I like some of the character, not all.
Read on my friends. I will keep you posted..
Fast paced, magic abilities, suspense-filled, action packed, great fun read!
Wind Catcher (Chosen #1) by Jeff Altabef is a great teen/young adult book but I enjoyed it too and I am certainly not young! It is a fantasy about certain Chosen kids that have certain abilities and they don't know about it. This is about one girl. It is fast, fun, and suspense-filled.
