Elidor by Alan Garner
3.0
This book sat on my shelf for years as a child, but never got round to reading it. Having read it now, I think it's because I've always been more Star Trek, and this is more Star Wars.
This book sees 4 brothers and sisters break into a church (to retrieve a ball), and get transported to Elidor, where they have to retrieve, and protect four precious artefacts that will bring light back to that land (during which time, they get transported them back to Manchester).
It wasn't a bad read, if you're an early teen and like the idea of the story, you'll probably like this book, it is engaging, and doesn't talk down to its reads. The problem is, I'm not sure I'm a fan of those sorts of books (I'm more Star Trek, than Star Wars), which made the effort of reading this one... more of a challenge.
