Publisher's Summary

On Gwyn's ninth birthday, his grandmother tells him he may be a magician, like his Welsh ancestors. She gives him five gifts to help him: a brooch, a piece of dried seaweed, a tin whistle, a scarf, and a broken toy horse. One blustery day, unsure what to do with his newfound magic, Gwyn throws the brooch to the wind and receives a silvery snow spider in return. Will he be able to use this special spider to bring his missing sister, Bethan, home?

The Snow Spider spins an icy, sparkly web of mystical intrigue that sets the stage for the next two books in this outstanding trilogy!

What the critics say

"Keating's reading of the tale is flawless....his mastery may well convince readers that this fictional world is real." (Publishers Weekly)

"From the opening music to the first note of narrator John Keating's beautifully accented voice, the listener is transported to the Welsh countryside... With narration like this, is is as if John Keating were himself the snow spider, spinning richness into Jenny Nimmo's tale." (AudioFile)
