From School Library Journal:
Grade 3-5-An odd, flat fantasy, populated with unlikable characters. Everything was fine in Roger's family-and then his father got a promotion. Now they live in a big house, his teenaged sister only wants to spend money at the mall, Mom is always on the phone with friends, and Dad is always talking business. These people are more than dysfunctional-they are unpleasant. Roger is fascinated with science, except that he is afraid of thunderstorms. When a storm arrives, he yells to the wind to take his parents away. Of course they vanish. Roger and his hateful sister go in search of them, find them being pushed around by the Four Winds, overpower the Winds, and return home to live happily ever after. Roger and Sally have many adventures with weather-related characters (a cloud child, Sir Snow, Lord Fog, etc.) but, again, none of them come to life. The boldly colored illustrations are realistic, yet stylized. If Sally had short hair and didn't wear a skirt, she would look exactly like Roger, and none of the weather characters' faces reflect the emotions described in the text.
