I came upon 'The Dark is Rising' collection quite by accident as I'd bought a collection of books for my Kindle and these books were part of the collection. They're a bit like the Harry Potter books or the Phillip Pullman trilogy in that they transcend children's literature and are equally suitable (and spell-binding)for adults. Susan Cooper writes from a well-informed perspective and you really feel that she's gone right inside the heads of the children involved. I loved that element of danger and risk and the unexpected was usually very unexpected but beautifully planned. A great read, believable characters, many nail-biting moments and good solid happy endings. What more could you ask for?

Third in "The Dark is Rising" series, this book sees the meeting up of the three children from "Over Sea and Under Stone" with Will Stanton from "The Dark is Rising".
The grail that the children found in a cave in Trewissick, South Cornwall, has been stolen by an agent of the Dark, and Merriman enlists the help of the Drew children once again. Only this time the children are surprised and shocked when Merriman arrives with another boy - Will Stanton. That is surely going to be a problem, they think.
Susan Cooper writes this so well. The line between super human Old One and 11 year old boy is so perfectly walked. Each character develops nicely in this book, but especially Jane.
I loved this book as a child. The interactions between families and friends, and the stumbling move from antipathy to friendship between the Drew children and Will Stanton all stand out, along with flashes of humour and an exciting and mysterious tale, cunningly written.
As an adult reader this remains an important and enjoyable book in probably my all time favourite series. Definitely strongly recommended.

Marvelous adventure with a twist!
This it the third book in the Dark is Rising sequence, and although a great read, it did not quite capture my attention as much as the others. Firstly, it was too short. Read more

essential as part of the series..on its own, a little weak
This book is more important as a hub of the whole Dark is rising sequence, showing the developing relationship between the new Old One, and the children. Read more
