The Grey King
Written by Susan Cooper

Publication date: 2007 (first published 1975)
Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry Books
ISBN: 978-1416949671

Summary/Back cover:
Following a serious illness, Will is sent to stay with his uncle in the wild, bleak mountains of North Wales. He is troubled by vague memories until he meets the mysterious Bran - and suddenly Will knows the task that lies ahead. With Bran's help, Will set outs to find the golden harp and awaken the six sleepers who must join the final battle.

Review:
This is the fourth book in the Dark Is Rising young adult sequence.

Again we meet up with Will without the Drew children, we do however meet Bran. This book can be a little difficult to read as there are a number of Welsh words in it, but as with any book with words you can't pronounce you find your own ways around it and the author does work to teach you how to pronounce them properly.

If you weren't hooked by the previous three books of the sequence I'm sure you will be by now!

4 out of 5
