THE SPRITE SISTERS
Four sisters
Four elements
Four powers

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

Aimed at 'tween' readers, the magical adventures of Flame, Marina, Ash and Ariel - who each have a power related to one of the elements, Fire, Water, Earth and Air - have been bestsellers for Fischer Verlag, with over 500,000 copies sold in Germany. Piccadilly Press published the first five titles in the UK, where the books have a keen fan base. Sheridan Winn bought back the rights in 2012 and now publishes the Sprite series herself.

The Boy With Hawk-like Eyes moves the story along and the sisters are now:- Flame, 15, Marina 15, Ash 123 and Ariel, 11 years.

'Have you ever thought about flying?' said Zak.
Ariel blinked. 'In an aeroplane?'
'No. Lifting your arms and soaring into the air.'
Ariel stared at Zak. She could feel his eyes boring into her and the colour rising in her cheeks. She had been flying over Sprite Towers last night! What should she say?
'No, ' she said, with a shake of her head. 'Why, have you?'
Zak grinned. 'Yes - flying is cool. You should try it.'

It is a year and a half since the Sprite Sisters used their magic powers of Fire, Water, Earth and Air. Amidst much bickering, Flame and Marina 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.
