Greenwitch
Susan Cooper
"Greenwitch" is the third book in the series. In the story of the "Greenwitch" Will is on a hunt for the Grail which has gone missing. It's been stolen. And it leads him to Cornwall where the three Drew children are vacationing again. I think for the summer.
And there's a tradition in the town where every year the women make a being out of sticks and leaves and cast off into the ocean and that is the greenwitch. It is interesting, but it's a little short, actually. I felt they could have gone further with the story, even though the story is continuous and new things are happening. I felt it was cut a little bit short.
As far as characters go you sort of feel an empathy with all of them, but I think the three children, Simon, Jane and Barney, their great uncle Mary is probably my favorite character. He's very mysterious. What I like about these books is the continuing mythology of the King Arthur story and how it ties into these children's sort of normal everyday lives. And they're just kids but they're on this grand adventure.
I would recommend this book to anybody who likes a little bit of fantasy and also any young readers who are of the right age to read to really appreciate it, which I would say is probably 11 to 13. I would give this, book four stars out of five."
