About the book

Something is scratching around in the attic above Alison's room. Yet the only thing up there is a stack of grimy old plates. Alison and her stepbrother, Roger, discover that the flowery patterns on the plates, when traced onto paper, can be fitted together to create owls--owls that disappear when no one is watching. With each vanished owl, strange events begin to happen . As the kids uncover the mystery of the owl service, they become trapped within a local legend, playing out roles in a tragic love story that has repeated itself for generations . . . and has always ended in disaster.

I read this for a YA Literature module for college. Described as a ghost story and full of Welsh mythology, It was quite interesting. It comes across as quite innocent and no scary but I think its meant to be. I loved the story of the myth entwined with the "current day" story and all the themes involved. Quite an interesting book and I actually liked it more than I thought I would.
