A
book for fans of Harry Potter, the Mortal Instruments and Beautiful
Creatures, Spellweaver is the first instalment of the story of Felicity
Lucas. After her mother's death, Felicity is forced to move to a
deprived London borough with her estranged father. It's different from
what she's used to; she never really had much of a relationship with her
mother, but now she's being forced into a friendship with the most
popular girl in her new school and even worse - the guidance counsellor
insists on meeting with her to 'talk about her feelings'. It's
Felicity's idea of a nightmare.
It's only when
she finds a book of magic spells and is attacked by a strange boy who
can spout fire from his hands that Felicity begins to get to know her
mother for the first time. She learns that she kept a great many
secrets, secrets that thrust Felicity into the path of those who are
bent on destroying her...
A 'coming-of-age'
book aimed at young adults that deals with the themes of grief, loss,
friendship and identity. The first in a continuing series.
