Aaron Kennedy | 8 comments Read in the late 80's early 90's from the public library, and it seemed well used at that point. I do not remember many details but I think the main characters were a girl and boy, young teenish. They were looking for elemental items to help in the fight vs. the dark / evil. The items were shaped like a squished donut, circular, w/ an ovoid cross section, and a hole in the middle with an + / cross / x in the middle. The fire element thing looked like fire, water like water, etc. For some reason I think I remember the kids standing next to an old tree with an old man looking into a fire as the fire element was freed / exposed? It may be part of a series.


Robert (ricroscupshigh) | 539 comments The Dark Is Rising Sequence, by Susan Cooper? The book in which the talismans are found is The Dark is Rising and the conclusion is Silver on the Tree.
