Summary from Simon and Schuster
When eleven-year-old Gwen ventures into the forest beyond her castle
home she comes across the magical island of Avalon and her life changes
forever. The lady of the lake, Nineve, asks Gwen to embark on a quest to
protect the enchanted island of Avalon from the evil sorceress Morgana
Le Fay.
Morgana has imprisoned the eight Spell Sisters of Avalon throughout the kingdom and stolen their magical powers. It's up to Gwen, her best friend Flora and a very special horse named Moonlight to find the sisters and return them to Avalon before its magic is lost forever.
The
sixth adventure of the series, sees Gwen and her cousin Flora attempt
to rescue Evie the sister who holds the magical control of birds.
Nayuleska's thoughts
This
is the best book in the series! I cried at the end because it's very
wonderful. Birds are my favourite type of animal. I was in awe at Evie's
power, wishing I could do the same. Her dress is exquisite. Gwen and
Flora have to stand up and face their fear, as well as learning not to
dismiss an idea without thinking it over. The tips on how the reader can
help birds are detailed and easy to follow in this 10/10 read.
You can find out more on the dedicated website.
Suggested read
Definitely check out the rest of the Spell Sisters series which includes Grace the Sea Sister
