Magician Trilogy series.
Gwyn Griffiths is an ordinary boy with problems stemming from the strange disappearance of his sister four years earlier. Now his eccentric grandmother announces that it's time to determine if he's inherited his Welsh ancestors' magic powers. Gywn is a real ten-year-old, bewildered by the sorrows that divide his family. His personality and Nimmo's power of description make the story believable.
