About this ebook
In the “Newbery Honor–winning author’s compelling fantasy” for young adults, a boy is chosen to rule his idyllic land—only to discover its dark secrets (Publishers Weekly).
Green-sky is an ideal place. Violence doesn’t exist. Its citizens, the Kindar, glide from tree to tree and exchange happy thoughts. This is all thanks to their rulers, the Ol-zhaan. And on his thirteenth birthday, Raamo D’ok is chosen to become one of the Ol-zhaan. Raamo is surprised to be named a Chosen. He isn’t a very good student—but the Ol-zhaan believe he has strong Spirit-force. But during his training, Raamo discovers that these good rulers aren’t as benevolent as they appear. They harbor secrets about his people, his family, and what lies below the forest floor. Now Raamo must decide: Should he keep the peace, or reveal the secrets that the Ol-zhaan have protected for so long? This ebook features an extended biography of Zilpha Keatley Snyder.

Read this trilogy years ago. Had the opportunity to tell the author how wonderful I thought her books were. Recommended it to all my middle schoolers, but a pleasant read for anyone.

I had the Commodore 64 game in the 80's and had this game. The video game is a continuation based off the end of book 3, Until the celebration. Highly recommend, it's a childhood favorite.

I am thrilled that the Green Sky trilogy is now available in ebook format! I found it to be poetical and philosophical.
