As always, excellently done
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I am a big fan of Susan Cooper's work, and Green Boy did not disappoint. The style differs slightly from her other books I have read, but well it should, as it is set in the Bahamas. The plot is compelling and the descriptions of the Otherworld left me haunted by the environmental possibilities of our own world. Clearly she has a message here. However, the story works on its own and is a good read.
Fantasy blends with more than a touch of realistic settings

Fantasy blends with more than a touch of realistic settings in this fast paced fantasy.
