Question: Novel name and author!?
I remember reading a novel once (for young adults) but I can't remember the name!. It sounds a bit strange in my recollection, but it was a really good book!.
I remember that the girl in the story found lolly-wrappers which were actually spells, and she had a pet spider!. She then gets kidnapped by some wizard-like man and his son!.
In the novel the characters have animals which they are connected with (like in The Golden Compass) except they find the animal rather than be born with it!. The son of the wizard has a rat and the wizard has a hawk or eagle!. The girl finds a wolf!.
I also remember that the boy and girl go to a giant tree which I think was named IQ, where the boy is blind due to magic (because he is the son of the wizard) so he looks through his rats eyes to see!.
I know my explanation is a bit off and unclear, but it was a while ago that I read the book and thats just things I remember from it!.
Sorry, and please help!.!.!.thankyouWww@QuestionHome@Com

"On a gray, rainy day in England, 12-year-old Natalie crosses a sodden supermarket parking lot carrying a bag of empty beer bottles for the recycling bin!. Her attention is caught by a colorful piece of crumpled metallic paper in a puddle!. Curious, she picks it up!. From this prosaic opening bursts a story that whirls off on wings of fantasy as the bit of litter turns out to be a spell planted by Hawk (the sinister leader of a band of outlaw spellmages) as bait to trap Natalie into becoming the essential 13th member of their spellclave!. Halloween approaches, and, during the 24 hours of the Opening, the outlaws plan an assault on the society of true mages who live within a gigantic spelltree in Unicorn Wood!. Four teenagers--Natalie, her stepbrother, Tim, her best friend, Jo, and Hawk's fearful son, Merlin--are catapulted into the conflicts of this magical world that lies just outside of ordinary reality"Www@QuestionHome@Com
