A review by librariann
The Light by D.J. MacHale
3.0
Ages 10+ (Horror, action and death. The language is ABC Family but the sustained fright level goes beyond Goosebumps)
This was slow going (I read two other books between picking this up and finishing it) and it was no Higson's The Enemy, horror-wise. The plot left questions strewn about haphazardly, and the 'answers' brought by the conclusion just set up the sequel. Still, it will appeal to fans of the Percy Jackson series who like high stakes adventure, peril, and who are looking to cut their teeth on something a little darker than that series.
