Resumen del Editor
Susan Cooper talks with Symphony Space's education director about The Dark Is Rising sequence, her series of five thrilling fantasy novels for young readers, among them The Dark Is Rising and 1976 Newbery Medal winner The Grey King.
The heroic series, originally published in the 1960s and 70s, is inspired by Arthurian myths and depicts an epic struggle between good ("The Light") and evil ("The Dark") in which children like 11-year-old Sign-Seeker Will Stanton take part. (It also inspired the recent film adaptation, The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising.)
To begin this special event, recorded live at Symphony Space in New York City, actor Daniel Gerroll reads an exciting piece from The Dark Is Rising.
This event was recorded live as part of the Thalia Kids' Book Club series at Peter Norton Symphony Space in New York City. These events feature lively discussions between children's book authors and their fans ages 9-12, led by a variety of special guests. Each event includes a fun writing or drawing exercise, and kids' Q&A.

Historia
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Historia
The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Then: Linda has it all: a gorgeous home, a devoted husband, two loving daughters. But she throws it all away to chase an impossible dream. Now: Linda is alone and penniless, living in a shabby rented flat. With nothing to lose, she signs up to a dating app for the over 50s. But the one man who responds to her profile, a man calling himself Tony Fortin, is not who he says he is. Linda recognises him immediately. He’s Marcus, her second husband. But that’s impossible. Marcus died eight months ago. He drowned off the coast of Corfu.

Historia
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

As the daughter of a drug dealer, Wavy knows not to trust people, not even her own parents. It's safer to keep her mouth shut and stay out of sight. Struggling to raise her little brother, Donal, eight-year-old Wavy is the only responsible adult around. Obsessed with the constellations, she finds peace in the starry night sky above the fields behind her house until one night her stargazing causes an accident. After witnessing his motorcycle wreck, she forms an unusual friendship with one of her father's thugs, Kellen, a tattooed ex-con with a heart of gold.

WARNING: This is NOT an audio book!!!!
What would have made Thalia Kids' Book Club: Susan Cooper's 'The Dark is Rising' better?
I am SO incredibly disappointed. I listened to the sample and verified it was someone reading aloud the book The Dark is Rising (1st book in the series) before downloading. However when I opened to listen, the first two minutes are of a woman introducing the man who proceeds to read aloud ONLY 2 PAGES OF THE BOOK which lasts a mere few minutes, then it becomes a question/answer session and discussion about the book. WHAT?!?!!! And Audible wants to charge me $14.95 for THAT??? You have GOT to be kidding me!
Very upset customer -- Audible and Amazon, please redeem yourselves and issue my 1 Credit back so I can please download an ACTUAL audio book, and please provide CLEAR warnings on content that is NOT an actual audio book -- which seems like the least you could do considering this site is specifically INTENDED FOR downloading audio books.
What was most disappointing about Susan Cooper’s story?
The fact that for my 1 audio book credit I only got to hear 2 pages of the book!!!
Would you be willing to try another one of Symphony Space’s performances?
NO! Please kindly reissue my credit so I may download AN ACTUAL AUDIO BOOK. Thank you.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Anger, frustration, and a very disappointed 9 year old who received a copy of the novel and was very much looking forward to reading along with the audio book together -- only to find out this "audio book" download only contains a mere 2 pages of the book read aloud, plus an hour worth of garbage I never would have knowingly downloaded.
Any additional comments?
Thank you.
