This is a great story! I read it several years ago, and it still gives me a shiver. Young readers will want to finish it in one sitting! Even though this is the first book in a series, it is a great stand-alone novel.

Slow and very dated in style and content. Can't believe it will hold the attention of YA audience for long. A lot of unfamiliar British-isms may also put the kids off this one.
Classic children's adventure story set on the English Coast. The 3 Drew siblings are caught up in the midst of danger & intrigue on the search for a treasure that harkens back to the time of King Arthur.

Couldn't get into it.
