louisems 's review for:

Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper
5.0

This was a reread for me - I loved all the Dark is Rising books as a child, and I had such a nice time reading this one to my 10yo. She gasped, laughed and cheered in all the right places, and the tension of the story's climax had us both breathless. I also had fun picking up on a few hints about the stories to follow later in the sequence.

Quality Arthurian fantasy for children, which is never patronising and has a real edge of menace to the villains. Definitely recommended.
