a review by Naomi

The Dark is Rising is a riviting book at times it makes the back of hairs on my neck stand-up! It is about a boy named Will Stanton coming of age. He is an Old One & the Sign Seeker. The Dark is taking over his world and he must find six signs. His quest leads him to many adventures. He meets other Old Ones & Merriman is one. Merriman becomes his mentor & guide to the way of the Old Ones & helps in his quest. The story weaves itself through different times, ages, snowstorm and Christmas. Will's quest must be done before 12 days. The way he gets each sign is wonderful and exciting.

I Promise that you will not be able to put this book down once you start it. Don't be put off by the pages of this book! This book will fly by once you start is!
