Magician Trilogy: Emlyn's Moon (Book Two)

Can the Snow Spider help Emlyn find his mother? Young magician Gwyn and his friend Nia have been warned to stay away from Emlyn Llewelyn, the strange boy who claims his mother lives in the moon. And yet, a mysterious magic continues to draw them to him. But why? The answer lies in a spider's web, an ice-cold flower's glow, and the haunting whispers of children from someplace far away. It's up to Gwyn and Nia to solve the mystery, with the help of Arianwen, the Snow Spider. '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. . ?
