The Weirdstone of Brisingamen
2 journalers for this copy...
But the Weirdstone of Brisingamen is lost, and without it the wizard cannot hold back the forces of evil for long. The children realise they are the key to its return, but how can mere children stand against an ancient evil bent on destroying the world?
The 50th Anniversary edition of this book was on prominent display in Waterstones, and as I had read and enjoyed Garner's The Owl Service (and creepy TV adaptation) many years ago, I thought I would give this one a go. The Weirdstone is not as creepy, but the vague descriptions of the evil characters leave much more to the imagination of the target readers, children. That does make some parts of the plot a little bit rushed . . .
