Help! Do you know what this book is?

Question

I remember reading a book quite a while ago, but can't remember specifics like the name or character's names. I'm interested in reading it again, but can't recall many details. All i can remember is that there was a brother and a sister and they lived in a time/place where their city was divided up in ranks, i think possibly by colors. But for some reason they escaped and had to go thru muddy or unsafe waters and met people there who helped them, i think they harvested potatoes in mud. Eventually they moved forward and there was a princess involved and lots more. I know this isnt a very good description, but its all i remember. Do you have any idea of what this series could be?

No, it is definately neither one of those. Its more serious fantasy than comical. I think their was corruption or injustice going on in the city and they escaped for some reason.

I had to type in keywords and just go through books on Amazon.com. The book is The Wind Singer (The Wind On Fire Trilogy, Book 1) if any of you are interested!

Answer 1

I think it's The Wind Singer...

Answer 2

There are several books and stories that would fit your description, which indeed is not very detailed.

Try to concentrate on the story, work on your memory and try to remember more.
Also try to remember if you own the book or took it from the library. If the latter is the case, the library computer will have it on your record and you can find out by asking the librarian.
