Silver on the Tree

I was in a hurry to finish this book and thus finish the series. Silver on the Tree by Susan Cooper neatly ties up the saga as the Old Ones, led by Merriman and Will Stanton, again team with the three Drew children and Bran, a Welsh boy with a mysterious heritage, to challenge The Dark's bid to control the world. As with the other books in The Dark is Rising sequence, the children must follow clues to gather the objects of power needed to stand against The Dark.
