I read this book quite a while ago, but I remember being absolutely enchanted by it! It tells the story of a young boy named Gwyn, who is descended from Magicians. When his Grandmother gives him five strange gifts, their uses are gradually revealed and he finds himself closer to tapping into his own magical powers, and solving the mystery of his sister's disappearance four years ago. It is a charmingly written book with an interesting story-line. Well worth a read.
