Blue Sky can climb like an ibex. She was raised by the herd in the highest peaks of the Alps and named for the color of her eyes. She's never known anything but rock, wind, snow, and ice, until the day she rescues a young climber from a stormy spire and learns of the world of humans beyond the crags. Sky longs to follow him. Can a girl raised by ibex in the mountains ever join the world of humans? A tale of self-reliance about finding strength in being who you really are and the courage to follow your dreams. "A fairy tale-like story about growing up and claiming one's place in the wide, mysterious world...readers will be enchanted." - Kirkus Reviews "Blue Sky is a girl of adventure, of dreams, of discovery. This was a magical tale, well crafted and paced. Unpredictable and thrilling, an emotional story of love, of loss, and facing the uncertainties of an unusual life. What is life but a dream? Great job, Mr. Kindall; this has been one of my best reads in a long time." - Randmaster, Amazon customer Like any normal girl, Blue Sky just wants to fit in. But it's all the not-so-normal stuff that's causing her problems. Like how she's the only human living in the high Alps with a herd of ibex. Or like how she might only be a dream. (How else can she explain her unusual life?) Tor, the ibex leader, claims the girl has no place with the herd, and he banishes Sky and her animal stepparents to a hostile part of the mountains to endure a bitter winter alone. The future looks bleak and hopeless until Sky rescues a young alpinist from a stormy peak, and her prospects begin to change. The boy tells her of the mysterious world beyond the peaks. Sky longs to follow him on his adventures in that other world, but she knows she can't leave the mountains until she fulfills her destiny with the ibex. When her chance finally arrives, Blue Sky will have to be braver than ever, believe in herself when no one else will, and risk losing the only life she has ever known to make her own dreams come true.
