: Over Sea, Under Stone
Author: Susan Cooper
First book in the “Dark is Rising Sequence.” I’d never heard of this series until recently, when it was compared favorably to the Harry Potter books. These were written in the sixties and seventies, and deal with children and the legend of King Arthur (as near as I can figure without having read them yet). This book has children discovering a map that leads them to the Holy Grail. A bit light, but interesting and well-written. I’ve started the second book and it is even better, so I think this is going to be a good series. There are five books in all.
