The Dark Is Rising (The Dark Is Rising Sequence)160 reviews
Susan Cooper
Simon Pulse, 2007
Don't judge these books by the movie !!!
+ An Interesting and Welcome Second in the Series
+ The second (and best) in the Dark is Rising sequence!
This series of books (especially, The Dark is Rising) is one of my favorites. The recent movie, The Seeker, based on The Dark is Rising, did not do the book justice. The moviemakers attempt to modernize the story, take out some of the mythological aspects, and add in some teenage angst ...

Wind Rider2 reviews
Susan Williams
Laura Geringer, 2006
adults will enjoy also
+ "Wind Rider"
Purchased "Wind Rider" as a gift for a 12 year old who loves horses, but decided to read it myself. Its a very good read--well crafted, carefully researched and has some complicated mature twists and turns. There is more character development than one would expect in a book geared to 10-12 age ...
