The least interesting book of that beloved series of my childhood, The Dark is Rising. I mean, Over Sea, Under Stone is enjoyable and I've read it quite often, but the kids aren't nearly as interesting as Will and Bran. They're very goody-goody and Jane in particular is a bit of a wet blanket here, which is a little disappointing as she's the main female character in the series. But the whole treasure hunt and map thing caught my imagination wonderfully as a kid, and I still enjoy that aspect of the story today.
