Setting

The time this book was taken place was in the early 2000. The place was in the state of Colorado.

Recommendation

The reasons I would recommend people to read this book is because it is very good and has drama. It tells you a how a girl delt with being in foster care and having to switch schools so often. It also shows how she tries to keep her wind in and what happened when she didn't. I would think people that like fantasy and that like books that deal with drama. I would definitely give this book five stars.

Theme

I would say the theme is Have faith in yourself and in others because Red had to have faith in herself in order to be able to control her wind. Red also had faith in her mom and believed she could me a great mom to her and that could stop taking pills.
