The Dark Is Rising Series

This series I first read in 6th grade, and I love it. I love fantasy novels, and this series was full of fun, magical adventures. I admit, I haven't read this series in a long while, it's been a few years, but this is one I could and have read multiple times. It'll be a series I encourage my kids to read too...when I get around to getting married and having kids, but it's one I'll have them read. Each story was fun and had it's own theme, but I think my favorite book in the series, or sequence as it's called, is The Gray King. That book is the one I've read the most in the sequence, it had the most interesting story to me. Now, a good decade or so ago they tried to make this into a movie, The Seeker: The Dark is Rising, which I'm assuming that most of you haven't heard of it, or at least don't remember it, which just emphasises my next satement....that movie was horrible, they ruined it and didn't do the story justice, so pay the movie no mind, but do this was a fun read, one that engages the imagination and is also a quick and easy read.
