SILVER ON THE TREE.

SILVER ON THE TREE.

By Susan. Cooper

The final adventure awaits for you with Will, the youngest of the Stanton family. Finally reunited with his siblings, Simon, Barney, and Jane as they set out and fight their final battle against the Dark as the Light. Will's friend, Bran Davies also joins them on their final adventure together, saw their uncle, Merriman. As we went on those 5 crazy but also challenging adventures and quests with Will and his siblings, it's also really interesting of how those characters have evolved over last 5 books in the Dark is Rising series with both cultures of Arthurian and Welsh in the medieval era. Overall, this series are pretty good and I would recommend this for the readers who enjoy the fantasy and this is also very similar to another book series of Harry Potter as Will is the Chosen One, too. - Happy Reading!

But a problem is, another boy found out and went out after the same thing for the Greenwitch. Even though Jane was after the gold carat, she also got terrified because of her nightmare about the Greenwitch but eventually got it all before the side of the Dark taking over. - Happy Reading!
