The Grey King The Grey King by Susan Cooper

When Will Stanton came to Wales he didn't know what he was getting into. All he knew was that he couldn't remember something important. But when Will meets Bran, a strange boy who owns a white dog, he starts remembering. He remembers the legend, the legend of a golden harp hidden inside a hill. This legend also tells of a boy and a white dog with silver eyes. Together the two would find the harp. But that is not the only thing he remembers. He also remembers that he is the youngest of the Old Ones, dedicated to help save the world from the forces of evil, otherwise known as the Dark. As an Old One, it is Will's task to retrieve the golden harp and awaken the six who must be awakened from their long slumber to prepare for the last battle between Light and Dark.

This book is very adventurous. There is magic, friends, enemies, and the struggle between good and evil. My favorite part in this book is when Bran, Will, and their dog go inside the Welsh hills to retrieve the harp. The reason for this is because of all of the struggles they have to go through to get there.
