The Dark Is Rising by Susan Cooper

4.0

I still remember reading this series as a 12-year-old, and realizing from the opening sentences of this book that Will Stanton and I share a birthday. And then, the things that happen to him on that birthday! How can you not love that? This was really my introduction to the whole genre of fantasy, and all of Celtic mythology, and it holds up pretty well (although it feels a tad simplistic, now).
