This book was great. It was a little slow in the start, and all the action happened at the end, but it was still I work of art.

Three girls. All different, bound together by the stregth of magic.

Emily, a healer, has just moved from Colodrado to Stonehill, Pennsylvania, and she and her mom run a vet clinic. A natural lover of animals, Emily has no friends yet and sometimes feels left out with no one with her. But Adriane and Kara are sweet people, and are helping her through the difficult process of adapting to this strange school and place.

Adriane Chardaye is a Native American girl with flying black hair, black blothes, and a style of her own. She lives with her grandmother on Ravenswood Preserve and has the gift of a warrior. Strong, bold, independent and determined is the young warrior and a mistwolf, Stormbringer, to whom she is bonded with.

Kara Davies is popular, snobby, and self centered. As a blazing star she stregthens and cures the magic around her. Kara is snobby at times but can be a good friend- she is torn between Adriana and Emily and her popular friends.

Spinning a majestic web of magic, these three girls struggle to save a flood of wounded creatures coming from another magical world, Aldenmoor, and they must face evil and darkness and be strong. In this book Emily bonds with a unicorn, and struggles to understand and gain the trust of the mythical creature.

Together, they will defeat evilness and bring goodness- all to the mysterious world of Avalon. Read and share about there triumphs and faliures, victories and downfalls, and together weave a web of friendship and magic- into the world of Avalon.

best avalon book yet, especially if you like horses and unicorns like i doo :) Emily has to use her magic powers to heal a sick unicorn that can help the mages fight a scary monster, i cried :' but then i laughed :0 cause it has a exciting ending and a flobbin too lol

This book, besides Cry of the Wolf, has to be my favorite in the Avalon serial. It's colorful and catchy, and puts what we've learned in the last three books on the table. Emily: can heal animals and has a deep empathy with them. Has a close relationship to Ozzie the elf/ferret (???). Has a rainbow jewel. Adriane: can control things around her and can also battle with her magic. Bonded to Stormbringer the mistwolf. Has an amber and brown tigereye jewel called the wolfstone. Kara: We don't know much about her yet, but she can make other's magic stronger. Bonded to Lyra. No jewel--yet.

This book is really Emily's since it tests--and strengthens--her fate in herself and the magic, which we find out is merely controlled by the magic stones. The real magic is always inside of you, no matter what it is. It is this that she must teach a lost, hornless unicorn called Lorelei. And we also learn some shocking news about the vital web of magic--it's falling apart. And with the fairimentals missing...well, Emily, Ozzie, Adriane, Stormbringer, Kara, Lyra, Zach, and the Drake are kind of on their own. Can three girls stop an evil harpy from capturing the web's only hope of survival?

This book was exciting and well-written. Avalon fans rejoice!

Emily Rocks! I'm very happy that the healer can show her colors. Great plot, great character, and I love Lorelei (the unicorn). I practically cried over Lorelei's infinite pain, but everything turns out right in the end! If you plan on reading it, watch the flobbin...He's more than what he seems.

This is one of my daughters (age 11) favorite series. We got her books 4, 5, & 6 for christmas and she had read book four and was well into book 5 by the New Year.

I liked this book. But even though it's 'supposedly' about Emily, her role is equal to Adriane's and Kara's. That ticks me off, because we've had a book for Adriane, we've had one for Kara. Emily hardly ever gets credit or a major role.

Another thing I didn't like was there wasn't too much of a plot in my eyes.

But it was written well, and that made it worth my while.

I loved it! It was soo magical and Emily is my favourite character. In the beggining of the book some odd and strange things happen to Emily as she goes to this one marching band at her school in the football game. This harpy is sorta stalking Emily and teriozzing her by singing these songs that sound bad out of tune. Meanwhile new refunges come to Ravenswood and also this weird horse that Emily goes and tries to help. As she does the harpy comes to Emily again as well as this Flobbin(which is this huge frog that loves Kara lol). Her friends try to make the dreamcather stronger. Later Emily relizes that the horse is really a beautiful unicorn and her horn was brutially cut off by the Dark Sorceress. Later Emily and the unicorn sorta bond and banish the harpy. A must read for any Emily or Avalon fan!

I loved this book! To the beggining and end I enjoyed it.Emily the healer has normal things to do, heal sick animals, take care the Pet Place, Emily though soon is figures out she is being watched but by who? Later Emily meets with a beatutiful unicorn Lorieli. But the unicorn is sick and frigtened. Emily must heal the unicorn and find out it secret before someone else will come first.

This is my absolute favorite book of all time!!!!!!!!! It is about Emily and her amazing bond with the unicorn Lorelei. She must protect The unicorn from dangers that are unknown. Will she be able to do it? I won't give it away but there is a great ending. This is the best Avalon book yet!!!!! You have to read it!!!!!!!

I absouloutly love this series. The plot is intricate and always ineresting and funny. Although I cannot really pick a favorite of the three main characters, Emily has a number of strange likeneses to me, so I really liked that this book was mostly about her. Also, I love the parts of books where you learn a lot about the world in which they take place, (or just the premise in this case, they are generally on the same world)so what you learn in the end about Lorli's species (that was purposly vauge so as not to give any spoilers, I don't mean that Lorili turns out to be a girraffe or something.:)) was one of my favorite parts. Overall a very intiguing addition to a great series.
