It turns out that a god-like spirit who lives in the sky, named February, is punishing the town for flying, and bans flight of all kind, including hot air balloons and even children's kites. It's February who makes the sun nothing but a faint memory, who blankets the ground with snow, who freezes the rivers and the lakes. As endless February continues, children go missing and more and more adults become nearly catatonic with depression. But others find the strength to fight back, waging war on February.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Adult Hc\/Tr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143117780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.12h x 5.00w x 0.43d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/12\/2010 pg. 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2010 pg. 27\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Shane Jones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43643936768181,"sku":"9780143117780","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_68b57d4f-fedb-4cb2-844e-8b24bce34b66.jpg?v=1708444944","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/light-boxes-9780143117780","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
