Yikes! What a great series title. This week I'm reviewing the first book of The Dark is Rising Sequence which is Over Sea, Under Stone.
It's about three kids whose family rents a vacation house with their uncle on the coast in Cornwall, England. This area has a lot of connections to the King Arthur legends, and right away the kids get involved with a mystery involving an ancient map and a group of evil villains who are desperate to find its secret.
I liked this book because it starts out very real and everyday and then gets mystical and dangerous. I also loved that it's a clash between good and evil, and I'm all about that.
Like the Dudes, the siblings in the story are all different, but they have to work together. And they do awesome stuff like climb cliffs and explore caves. And there's a loyal dog too. I'll totally be reading the other four books in the series to see how it all comes out.
On the Dudes Summer Book Bingo card, here's how this book qualifies:
WHOA!, AWESOME GIRL (Jane), TOOK ME TO A NEW WORLD (Cornwall), SIBLINGS TEAM UP, or TIME MACHINE because it's all about what happened in King Arthur's time and what will happen in the future.
