The Snow Spider by Jenny Nimmo
The Snow Spider by Jenny Nimmo, £6.99
ON HIS ninth birthday Gwyn is given some strange gifts by his grandmother. They lead him to the snow spider and a series of encounters with strange other worlds of snow and silver, finally revealing the fate of his lost elder sister.
The Snow Spider is one of those rare books that will surely stand as a modern children's classic and still be loved by children in generations to come. If you haven't read it yourself, find yourself a small child to read to and immerse yourself, or hide in a corner and read to yourself. Whatever you do, just read it - you won't regret it or forget it!
