Wendover Bookshop - The Snow Spider Trilogy, Jenny Nimmo

'Time to find out if you are a magician!' said Gwyn's grandmother, as she gave him five strange birthday gifts. What could they mean, the piece of seaweed, the yellow scarf, the tin whistle, the twisted metal brooch and the small broken horse?

Gwyn gives the brooch to the wind and in return is sent Arianwen, the snow spider. The spider weaves a silken web in which sits a girl he knows but cannot place.

This is the beginning of extraordinary battles against evil in words sparkling with snow and silver.

The Snow Spider was winner of the Smarties Grand Prix award.
