Greenwitch

By: Susan Cooper

Narrated by: Alex Jennings

Simon, Jane and Barney, enlisted by their mysterious great uncle, arrive in a small coastal town to help recover a priceless golden grail stolen by the forces of evil, the Dark. They are not at first aware of the strange powers of another boy brought to help, Will Stanton—nor of the sinister significance of the Greenwitch, an image of leaves and branches that for centuries has been cast into the sea for good luck in fishing and harvest.
Their search for the grail sets into motion a series of disturbing, sometimes dangerous events that, at their climax, bring forh a gift that, for a time at least, will keep the Dark from rising.©2007 Susan Cooper; (P)2007 Random House, Inc.

Puuls me into the story every time I listen to it.

this is such a great series, one of my all time favorites ! I highly recommend this whole series!

Worth the revisit

I read this series as a child and loved it. Returning to it as an adult but read to like a child has been thrilling.

The narrator is very talented. He is able to embody both male and female characters as well as giving the sensing of young and old.

Mystery of the Green Witch's secret

The 3rd part of The Dark is Rising series. This time Will Stanton, Jane, Simon, and Barney meet and they face again an agent of the Dark. Merry and the Captin with Will join together to stop the agent of the Dark to gain the item the Green Witch has found and is keeping secret.

Alex Jennings' superb narration!

This is a wonderful 3rd book in the series by Susan Cooper of fantasy and good vs evil. The series is reminiscent of CSLewis and Narnia although not quite as visual IMO. As an adult I've thoroughly enjoyed listening to the series as I drive throughout the week. Great entertainment for young and old!

My favorite of the series

I can't say enough good about this series. It's a piece of my childhood. And this book was my favorite of the series. Each story has a slightly different tone. I think this may have been the most personal of the stories that Susan Cooper wrote, since she said she identified with Jane, which this story follows more closely than the others.
