Love the book series, but this dramatization was just okay. If you didn’t already know the story, I think this might leave out too much. Definitely read the book first.

Sounded great with headphones, with sounds moving all around the space.

#TheDarkIsRising by #SusanCooper

This one feels a bit like it summoned some bad winter storms. A BBC recording classic- this middle reader is a mid-winter favorite of my extended family, with a fun group read that happens in real time (as it was played on BBC back in the day). I, as usual, can stay up with a group read, but it does have a great adventure story with wonderful narration. This is a solid kid quest, with time travel and some other fantasy elements.
