basically traditional fantasy I guess... the protagonists are children aged between 9-12 or so, who suddenly become involved in an epic battle between the forces of light and dark one summer holidays in the english countryside. Helping them is their great-uncle who is actually a powerful man who will aid the children and protect them from the dangerous forces of evil. There are five books in the series - and each one follows the children's journey to help discover the signs of light which will forever destroy the dark, which is rising. that is basically a summary of the series as much as I know it

hm, just finished it. I found them quite good, probably due to the fact that they were less 'modern' in the sense with a lot of powerful emotions and atmosphere
