Vivi Conway

Vivi- it's me, Dara. We're doing everything we can to find you…" Vivi Conway has disappeared. With Vivi taken, and forgotten by everyone but her friends, Dara is struggling to hold it together. They're trying everything they can, but nothing seems like enough. When Stevie, Chia and Merry reveal they have been working on a plan of their own, the friends must embark on a rescue mission that will take them far beyond the Unlands. The time will finally come to face the villainous Arawn, and when it does the group must be ready to use their combined powers. With the help of new friends and old, they set out to find Vivi, defeat their ancient foe, and save the world (no pressure).

The first book in a fantastical series that combines a quest for magic and friendship with Welsh mythology and a pinch of science, all within a contemporary setting. The lake has been calling to twelve-year-old Vivi Conway. On the day she and her Mams will move from Wales to London, she sneaks out to investigate what is calling her there. Instead of a quiet swim, she finds Excalibur (much smaller than she expected), a ferocious monster (much scarier in real life than in her mythology books), a new friend (which she doesn't want at all) called Dara and a ghostly dog named Gelert (who can talk.) Gelert insists that Vivi is part of a magical group of children known as enaids who share the souls of witches from legend and must protect the world from being taken over by the evil King Arawn of the Otherworld. Oh, and now she can magically control water. With a little extra help from spiky Avery and sweet-hearted Chia, Vivi must come to terms with her magical destiny and be brave enough to embrace true friendship.
