About this Item

Good condition, and this is an EX-LIBRARY copy, so the markings are listed first and in full. There is a spine call-number label affixed to the lower left of the front cover, a catalogue label on the spine, a barcode sticker on the inside of the back board, and the dust jacket is held in a Mylar library protective wrap. That wrap is partially separating from the jacket. The dust jacket itself is present but worn, with tears and creasing at the top of the spine and at the corners. Under the jacket the boards show some wear. A small rust-brown spot is present on the frontispiece page. The good news is the inside: the binding is intact, and the pages are clean and bright with only minimal yellowing, no highlighting and no writing found on any page examined. A complete, sound copy that spent its working life on a library shelf and shows it.

About this title

Synopsis

Simon, Jane and Barney, enlisted by their mysterious great uncle, arrive in a small coastal town to help recover a priceless golden grail stolen by the forces of evil, the Dark. They are not at first aware of the strange powers of another boy brought to help, Will Stanton -- nor of the sinister significance of the Greenwitch, an image of leaves and branches that for centuries has been cast into the sea for good luck in fishing and harvest.
Their search for the grail sets into motion a series of disturbing, sometimes dangerous events that, at their climax, bring forth a gift that, for a time at least, will keep the Dark from rising.
