Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. I wasn't a fan of the Charlie Bone books but decided to give this book a try. I listened to the audiobook edition narrated by Jack Keating. While I enjoyed this book better than the Charlie Bone books I still felt the dialogue was a bit stilted and that the plot wasn't developed enough. I'm rating this book a three because it was an interesting premise and the audiobook narration was well done. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

The story is quite charming with the tale of how Gwyn gradually comes into his own and slowly wins the acceptance of his father helped by an orphan girl who comes to the area and despite her snowy hair has an odd resemblance to his lost sister. Gwyn must learn for himself that rejection can come even from friends when you appear to be too odd, so this is a story also about fitting in to a community that likes people to conform.
The book is for a younger age group than I originally expected, an impression strengthened by the illustrations which are a bit 'twee'. I especially found the one of his grandmother, drawn as a girl of 16 or so rather unconvincing. And the story probably won't appeal to children with a fear of spiders although maybe the idea is that it might enable them to accept at least small magical ones. ( )
