Gwyn's 5 gifts from his grandmother, Nain, take Gwyn's imagination to a whole new level. After finding out that he's a witch, he experences new things that he never thought was possible without the gifts. But the most important things that he wants most of all, is to bring his sister back that disappeared 4 years earlier and to bring his family back together. With the help of a magical snow spider named Arainwen he goes to beat the challenges of the mortal world to bring his sister home.

I read this book about eight years ago and I still remember it to this day. I love this book and even though I'm a bit more "grown-up" than I was when I first read it, it is still as fascinating today as it was then.

I first read this at some young age long enough ago that I can't remember exactly when, but I remember very well the sense of awe and enchantment of the story. Even now, many many years later, I can pick it up and be just as engrossed even though it's such a short read. Highly recommended for all ages, if you enjoy a magical tale that somehow seems real, along with the very real story of a young boy's emergence into adulthood.

the snow spider is definately one of my favorite books of all time. when I was reading it, everyone was trying to get me to do something, ANYTHING besides read that book, but nothing anyone did could make me stop. after i read this book, I had to read "orchard of the cresant moon," and "the chesnut soldier." I often think of the snow spider now, and wish that i could be a magician like gwen, and do things like see pictures from a different world. Jenny Nimmo is extremely creative, and i know i will remember this book forever.

I read this book first when I was in 7th grade. I'm now 18 years old and frequently think of the images and ideas that this book produced. I was hoping to buy it so that I could re-read it to discover the secrets that I overlooked previously, but I'll have to check the library. Read it!! You'll love it!!!

I liked this book because It was full of Magic and Adventure. It is a stange book making wonder what will happen next .You want to turn the page as you get in the book you will not leave it alone.Cameron Wright 9 years old

I read this book just this year for school and we couldn't read ahead of the class I hated that! But we finaly finished it.it was the kind of book you have to know what happens. When we were reading it in class we'd come to parts when we'd all go ITS BATHAN I KNEW IT I KNEW IT! I love the way jenny nimmo writes her books are the coolest. You gotta read em' all!

the best book and an added bonus of finally finding my name, i especially love all the characters and the way that everyone in their own magical way is a beautiful character
