The Boy with Hawk-Like Eyes — Sheridan Winn

'The Boy With Hawk-like Eyes' is the sixth volume in Sheridan Winn's bestselling Sprite Sister series. 

Aimed at readers aged 7-13 years, the magical adventures of Flame, Marina, Ash and Ariel have sold over 500,000 books. Set in Norfolk, the stories are based in part on Sheridan's own experiences of growing up as the eldest of four sisters at Littlewood House, a big old house in the country.

It's a year and a half since the Sprite Sisters used their magic powers of Fire, Water, Earth and Air in the story, New Magic. Amidst much bickering, Flame, (15), and Marina (14) are busy with their teenage social lives and even Ash seems to have forgotten about magic. As Ariel harnesses her power of Air to learn to fly, a strange boy comes to Sprite Towers and the family is threatened by the invasion of terrifying, insect-like creatures. With dark magic unleashed in the old house and the air turning poisonous, the Sprite Sisters must quickly find a way to remember their powers.
