When Angel moves to a new school after the death of her parents, she isn’t interested in making friends. Until she meets Bavar - a strange boy, tall, awkward and desperate to remain unseen, but who seems to have a kind of magic about him. Everyone and everything within Bavar''s enchanted house is urging him to step up and protect the world from a magical rift through which monsters are travelling, the same monsters that killed Angel''s parents. But Bavar doesn’t want to follow the path that''s been chosen for him - he wants to be normal; to disappear. Fighting one another as well as their fears, Angel and Bavar must find a way to repair the rift between the worlds, and themselves, before it''s too late . . .Praise for A Girl Called Owl''A story of wild winds and bitter frosts with the warmth of friendship at its heart'' - Abi Elphinstone, author of The Dreamsnatcher''This debut is a sparklingly frosty read, full of feisty characters, myth and mystery'' - Daily Mail''A winter treat full of frosty magic'' - Katherine Woodfine, author of The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow''A perfect read for those who love wintery magic and a strong female character proving her place in the world.''
