Summary
In the attic of an old house in a Welsh valley, Gwyn discovers a plate with an abstract design on it that can be traced into an owl, an owl that disappears when no one is looking. Reprint.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Something is scratching around in the attic above Alisonâs 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 around Alison, Roger, and the caretakerâs son, Gwyn. 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 . . . a love story that has always ended in disaster.
