onetrooluff 's review for:

Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper
4.0

Finally got around to book 1 of The Dark is Rising. I used to own this edition of the books but I actually have a big omnibus of the whole thing now.

I liked this first one pretty well. A good quest-type story. Typical '60s story though, with the kids haring off on crazy (and dangerous) adventures while the parents are completely oblivious.
