Over Sea, Under Stone
Susan Cooper
"Over Sea, Under Stone" is a book about three children, Simon, Jane and Barney Drew who go to vacation in Cornwall, England. And happen upon a map in the attic of the house they're staying, which is also I think, the house of their great uncle. And they are young kids with a sense of adventure and they're interested in where this map goes. And this leads into the series "The Dark is Rising."
What I like about this particular book is its sense of adventure and sort of, it's a little bit tied in with the mythology of King Arthur. The book might start off a little slowly, as far as introducing places and characters and sort of what's going on, but once the story really starts to evolve, it gets kind of exciting.
I would recommend this book to anyone who was my age when I read it, so maybe junior high or late elementary school age. But, it's also, recommend it to any of my friends or people I know who have that same sort of sense of adventure and like a little bit of fantasy fun. Oh, I would give it four out of five stars."
