The Dark is Rising Susan Cooper "The Dark is Rising" is sort of an intro to this boy's sort of heritage. He's the seventh son of a seventh son. And it turns out that he is connected to the powers of the light, as opposed to the powers of the dark. And that his job in his lifetime is to be the sign seeker, to find these six signs and unite them and fight in a battle against the dark powers. The signs he's seeking are in reference to just the powers of the light. But there is more King Arthur Holy Grail type mythology tied in with the series as a whole. This is a very exciting book. The story is sort of very engrossing and adventurous and it's very easy to get wrapped up in. It's one of those books you don't want to put down. You just want to keep reading. It's really entertaining. I am a fan of mythology-based stories. I do like fantasy more when it pertains to real world than when it's just completely made up. As far as the age range for this book, that it's similar to the Harry Potter series, maybe a little more geared to a younger reader. I felt like Harry Potter was really for anyone. But, I think that people who enjoy Harry Potter would enjoy this book also. I would give "The Dark is Rising" five out of five stars."
