  <default_description>The Dark is rising in its last and greatest bid to control the world. And Will Stanton -- last-born of the immortal Old Ones, dedicated to keeping the world free -- must join forces with this ageless master Merriman and Bran, the Welsh boy whose destiny ties him to the Light. Drawn in with them are the three Drew children, who are mortal, but have their own vital part in the story. These six fight fear and death in the darkly brooding Welsh hills, in a quest through time and space that touches the most ancient myths of the British Isles, and that brings Susan Cooper's masterful sequence of novels to a satysfying close.&lt;P&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This series was a fun read.  I especially like the fact that children are the heroes.  Although I wouldn't read this with my kids right now, once they are older, it will be fun to discuss with them.  The overall Good vs. Evil and how evil can disguise itself is well represented.  Trials, challenges ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45451181">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Based on Gaelic mythology, this series presents the struggle of good vs evil through the supernatural adventures of a group of pretty extraordinary British schoolchildren.  The adventure is superbly told and gripping, the characters engaging.  Be warned, however, that the tone is pretty dark through...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69916858">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's never taken me so long to read such a short book. OK, I gotta be honest, this series started off awesome, but somewhere along the line, I figured out the formula and then it was just a chore to finish.  Maybe it's because I read them all at once, I don't know, I just wanted to punch Will by the...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46256651">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The final book of the five in the series, and a gripping conclusion to the story. Susan Cooper is very skilful at weaving plot and legend together and producing a convincing whole. The person I sent this book on to had read the series as a child and been terrified and enthralled, and was going to re...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61993192">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I think this is the only book in the series that I hadn't read before.  Although I was sometimes confused about where and when the characters were, I loved it overall.  Listening to <em>Grey King</em> and <em>Silver on the Tree</em> was wonderful because of the Welch.  Reading it I would have struggled with how the w...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48337855">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this in junior high or early high school. I think that was before I had opinions on things. I got all the way to the start of the last book in the series and then lost interest, never going back.  Maybe someday I'll review the Wiki pages of the first 3 (or 4?) books in the series and read thr...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60623497">more...</a>]]></body>
