Greenwitch
Written by Susan Cooper
(Young Adult Sequence 3 of 5)
Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry Books
ISBN: 978-1416949664
Summary/Back cover:
Simon, Jane, and Barney, enlisted by their mysterious great-uncle, arrive in a small coastal town to recover a priceless golden grail stolen by the forces of evil—Dark. They are not at first aware of the strange powers of another boy brought to help, Will Stanton—nor of the sinister significance of the Greenwitch, an image of leaves and branches that for centuries has been cast into the sea for good luck in fishing and harvest.
Their search for the grail sets into motion a series of disturbing, sometimes dangerous events that, at their climax, bring forth a gift that, for a time at least, will keep the Dark from rising.
Review:
This is the third book in the Dark Is Rising young adult sequence.
This time the Drew children are back where they were in the first book, with one difference, Will Stanton joins them. This book is a very quick read and certainly works to escalate your expectations for the rest of the sequence. It delves into more mythology and ancient traditions.
This book certainly had me ready to read the next!
4 out of 5
