The rising star of children's fantasy * Telegraph * Wilson is conjuring up a reputation for darkly mystical stories based on myths and legends * Daily Mail * It was such a treat to be back in Owl's world - Amy Wilson spins her magic like a glittering winter cloak. This story of friendship, loyalty and the power of nature is so beautifully told I felt myself sinking deeper under its spell. -- Jasbinder Bilan
