The Dark Is Rising [Dramatisation] by Susan Cooper

adventurous dark medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
I listened to the BBC World Service audio drama. The voice actors were all great. Overall a good audio experience.

Despite being thrust into different times through very sudden time travel, the plot was simple to follow. It was interesting discovering how many people Will knew were connected to the Light or the Dark and how Will began to see them in new ways. 

Overall, a good book for middle grade readers about fighting against the darkness in their world.
