Opis

A spellbinding story discovering the power of magic from Amy Wilson, critically acclaimed author of A Girl Called Owl

Clementine has been intrigued by the mysterious house in the middle of the city ever since she can remember. One day she ventures in to find the place full of snowglobes, all of them swirling with stars and snow, and each containing a solitary figure. The figures are moving, and Clementine finds she is able to talk to them - and discovers that this mysterious house is a magician's prison. Each globe holds a magician and they are watched over by Gan, the lonely and bitter keeper of the house. As she learns more about the magic each snowglobe holds, Clementine agrees to join the magicians in trying to break the spell that traps them, unwittingly unleashing a struggle for power that could put the future of magic itself in danger. Praise for Amy Wilson. 'A story of wild winds and bitter frosts with the warmth of friendship at its heart' Abi Elphinstone, author of Sky Song, on A Girl Called Owl. 'Original and compelling . . . an unexpected tale of grief, magic and monsters' Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Girl of Ink & Stars, on A Far Away Magic

Recenzje

I don't know what Amy Wilson has running through her veins as she writes but I think it might really be magic - Snowglobe is one of the most purely original and imaginative children's books I have read this year. Literally spellbinding Piers Torday
