The Unnameables

Medford lives on a neat, orderly island called--simply--Island. Islanders like names that say exactly what a thing (or a person) is or does, and nothing less. Islanders like things (and people) to do what their names say they will. Nothing more. So what would you expect of a thirteen-year-old foundling called Medford Runyuin? Not much. In fact, you might want to keep your eye on him. Medford's been keeping a big secret, one that could get him banished forever from Island and the only life he's ever known. Enter the Goatman, a nameless, smelly wanderer who calls the wind but can't control it. And who can't keep a secret to save his life. This is a whimsical fantasy about belonging, the dangers of forgetting history, the Usefulness of art, and the importance of wind control. Check out the class at: www.classof2k8.com
