"A good start to a good series"
Entertaining, classic, and youthful
It may be written for younger readers, but it is a very good start to a great series. It does not alienate older readers.
When the children gathered on the hill in the night, and the threats and mystery they faced really came to light.
All quest in the history of good and evil.
The other books on this series start to appeal more to older readers, but that does not mean that this book should be dismissed.
