COOPER, Susan - Greenwitch - [The Dark Is Rising # 3] - (Hardcover)

This book belonged to an American school library before, and as they often do they rebound it and sort of printed the original cover picture on the boards, colours as usual a bit dull - Book remained in good condition though - Front blank endpaper removed probably to hide exlib status.  >>>   Simon, Jane, and Barney, enlisted by their mysterious great-uncle, arrive in a small coastal town to recover a priceless golden grail stolen by the forces of evil -- 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 forth a gift that, for a time at least, will keep the Dark from rising.   (Goodreads)   *Fantasy * Young Adult *
