Summary

A Castle Rock novel. 

Something evil has swept into the small Maine town of Castle Rock on the heels of the latest winter storm. Sheriff Norris Ridgewick and his team are desperately searching for two missing girls, but time is running out to bring them home alive. 

In Washington, DC, 37-year-old Gwendy Peterson couldn't be more different from the self-conscious teenage girl who once spent a summer running up Castle Rock's Suicide Stairs. That same summer, she was entrusted - or some might say cursed - with the extraordinary button box by a mysterious stranger in a black suit. The seductive and powerful box offered Gwendy small gifts in exchange for its care until the stranger eventually returned, promising Gwendy she'd never see the box again. 

Gwendy has never told a soul about the button box - not even her husband. But one day the button box shows up without warning and without the man in the black suit to explain what she is supposed to do with it. The curious reappearance of the box, along with the troubling disappearances in Castle Rock, leads Gwendy home again...where she just might be able to help rescue the missing girls and stop a dangerous man before he does something too terrible to contemplate.... 

From New York Times best seller Richard Chizmar comes Gwendy's Magic Feather, a breathtaking novel that asks whether our lives are controlled by fate or the choices we make...and what price we might have to pay for those choices when we reach for the things we most desire. Prepare to return again to Stephen King's Castle Rock, the sleepy little town built on a bedrock of deep, dark secrets, which is about to awaken from its quiet slumber once more.

Good

Didn't realise it wasn't with Stephen King but it was a good little story anyway as I enjoyed the collaboration between them in Gwendys magic button box

Gwendys Magic Feather

Mr Chizmar definitely needs Mr Kings help to make this series interesting and exciting to the reader. The second instalment in the series is very poorly written and plotted. Basically nothing really happens till the very end of the book. Up to this point we are presented with a load of stories about Castlerock and Gwendy that are unnecessary to the plot and frankly boring. This instalment is a poor addition which should be avoided.

Such a let down!

A terrible sequel. Part one was really good but this is awful. Boring from the very start. A real let down.

Loved it.

What can I say. As an “avid reader” of Stephen King and a big fan of Gwendys button box, was expecting great things from magic feather. And I wasn’t disappointed, I loved it. It’s like classic Stephen King but written by someone else. Maggie Siff’s reading of it is brilliant. Utterly believable as Gwendy. FIVE STARS
