Booklist
The second volume in the Magician Trilogy takes up the story two
years after the Welsh boy Gwyn discovers his magical powers. Now
the focus shifts to Nia, Gwyn's former neighbor. When her family
moves from their farm to the nearby town, Nia feels uprooted and
lost in the shuffle. As the story develops, an old mystery grows in
importance and the otherworldly element from The Snow Spider (2006)
becomes a threatening presence once again. First published in
England in 1986, the book's manageable length, sympathetic
characters, and appealing jacket art will lure readers. . -Carolyn
