*****SPOILERS***** DNF. It's not often that I do not finish a book, and I was in the final stretch, truth be told. I had like 40 pages until I reached the end, but I just could not stomach reading any more of this book. Not when…

I found this book interesting. It always kept you on the edge of your seat. You never knew what what going to happen next. There was some foreshadowing.

Last 50 pages are the best. Over sea, Under stone was much better.

An imaginative and heart-warming epic fantasy tale for kids and young adults. Its a classic tale of good and evil, but the strong hero and compelling portray of his struggle shoot this series far above the usual hackneyed epic fantasy…

A fantastic classic! This tale of 11-year-old Will coming into an unexpected magical heritage is a long-time favorite, full of British folklore and local charm. Suitable for older children or young adults.

A really great book. One that you get more out of every time you read it. Lots of symbolism creates a great atmosphere to the book.
