Once a year Zluty journeys alone to the Great Forest to gather the essential nuts and herbs for the coming winter months.

Zluty must flee the desert and venture deeper into the forest than he has ever been to escape it.

Reviews / Recommendations: by Megan Burke | Literary Life: "I am ashamed to say that despite Isobelle Carmody being one of Australia's most well-loved authors this, The Red Wind, is the first book of her's I've read. And boy oh boy. Where do I begin? The story was... Magical. Brilliant. Amazing. And a whole bunch of other adjectives that I can't even think of at the moment. From the get-go, Carmody had me in. In fact, even when she was setting up the story with background and the daily routine of Bily and Zluty (awesome names, by the way) I decided that I could forever read the daily lives of Bily and Zluty."
