      Well-written book; the author is, thankfully, not afraid to use big words and think about important things. There is an evil character in the story and kindness alone is not enough to defeat her; i.e., it is a disturbing story.
    • 5/5
      Another anomaly in the Green Knowe series: it's SCARY. If 'Stranger' had too little magic, 'Enemy' has too much of it: dark, spiteful, evil, black magic that nearly overcomes Mrs Oldknow, that takes everything that Tolly and Ping can throw at it, and that's even almost too strong for Green Knowe itself. In fact, forget scary – it's downright terrifying, and if I'd read it when I was a kid I would probably still be having nightmares.
