Greenwitch is the third book in Susan Cooper’s acclaimed The Dark Is Rising sequence, following Over Sea, Under Stone and The Dark Is Rising. Set in Cornwall, the story returns to the stolen grail and the struggle between the forces of Light and Dark. Jane, Simon and Barney are drawn into an ancient local ritual involving the Greenwitch, a strange sea offering bound up with old magic, secrecy and the power of a single wish.

Blending children’s fantasy, Celtic atmosphere, Arthurian myth and folk ritual, this is a strong pick for readers who enjoy older magical fiction with a darker, mythic edge.
