4.0 out of 5 stars Third in The Dark is Rising Series, 27 Mar 2008
By S. Barnes (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Greenwitch (Puffin Books) (Paperback)
The Dark is Rising is a wonderful classic fantasy series, and 'Greenwitch' (Book 3) brings together the characters from Books 1 and 2, as the powers of the Light continue on their quest to overcome the Dark.

The Drew children, Simon, Jane and Barney, central to the story in 'Over Sea Under Stone' (Book 1) come back into the plot, returning to Trewissick with their Great Uncle Merry for a week of their Easter Holidays. They are on a mission to recover the celtic golden chalice they found in Book 1 and presented to a museum for safe-keeping. The chalice has been stolen and Great Uncle Merry (Gumerry) believes they can help to find it. In 'Greenwitch' their characters are better developed than in the first book, bringing out distinctive individual characteristics for each of the children.

Also on his way down to Trewissick for his holidays is Will Stanton, the Sign-Seeker and youngest of the Old Ones, guardians of the Light in Book 2. Will's Uncle Bill is taking him on his holidays with an old friend of his, Merriman Lyon... Merriman, or Merry has brought all of the children together for the first time as they each have unique skills to help with the recovering of the chalice and the fight against the powers of the Dark. Jane, in particular, as she is invited to watch the local women of the village construct the magical Greenwith as an offering to the sea, makes a wish which becomes important to the Old Ones in their struggles against the Dark....

Not as good as Book 2, but 'Greenwitch' is essential in bringing together the two plot lines established in Books 1 and 2, and is a key part of The Dark is Rising series. A great series for all ages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Book One continued, 31 Jan 2006
By Amanda Richards "Hotpurplekoolaid" (ECD, Guyana) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Greenwitch (Puffin Books) (Paperback)
The third continues from Book one
Along the Cornish shore
With Simon, Jane and Barney Drew
And Merriman once more

Someone's made off with the Grail
It's got to be the Dark
This time Will Stanton's in the mix
And Barney makes his mark

The Grail requires a secret code
To understand the writing
This fell into the deep blue sea
while Light and Dark were fighting

The Greenwitch claims a soggy prize
They need to get it back
While Jane tries her best to be nice
The Dark starts to attack

A lone dark minion on a quest
Gets greedy with his role
He stirs up all the Wild Magic
Before losing control

Will they locate the precious Grail
And break its ancient code?
And will the Greenwitch be appeased
Surrendering her load

For younger fans of fantasy
This series is a must
So go tell your Librarian
"Susan Cooper - or bust!"

Amanda Richards

3.0 out of 5 stars essential as part of the series..on its own, a little weak, 23 Jun 2001
This review is from: Greenwitch (The dark is rising sequence) (Mass Market Paperback)
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. However, without the surrounding storyline, it is at best a little weak, and at worse, downright confusing. Not to be read first, I think. In fact the whole series is best taken in order, although later books are better than 'Over Sea, Under Stone'
