  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;A mechanical street map, a deserted slum, a church in ruins, and a football. Four ordinary things lead the Watson children on an extraordinary adventure to a magical land called Elidor. In pursuit of four ancient treasures, the forces of evil have crossed over into our world, and it falls to the Watson children to find the treasures, seal the bridge between worlds, and guard the strayed unicorn Findhorn . . . even though their heroism may cost them everything.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was written some years ago, and it shows in the choice of words used. I did find this distracting at the beginning of the story. In fact, some of the phrases used were so weird that I had no idea what was meant.

    <body><![CDATA[As my review says, it was ok.  Although, or perhaps especially because it was written for children I felt there would have been more fantasy involved rather than 3/4 chapters at the beginning and the last 2 chapters.  So was a little disappointing in that sense.]]></body>
