The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper


While the beginning is confusing, the story will pull you in and will not let you go. Written years before Harry Potter, this is a story of an 11 year old boy learning he is not "human" and must find 6 signs to keep the dark from rising and freezing the earth. Time and space is crossed in the search for the signs. Half of the Potter fans come back to me to say I am right. This is better than Harry Potter. It is the second book in the series, but you don't have to read the first. If you loved this, you have 4 others in the series. It was to be made into a movie, but I haven't seen anything about the release. Newbery Honor book.
