Silver Chalice, Golden Bough

A small southern town, but an ancient adventure… Fifteen year-old James isn’t happy about moving, particularly not to his mother's hometown of Proverb, Mississippi: population 400. Even the nearest Wal-Mart is on the other side of the county. Boredom seems inevitable until James finds himself threatened by a dragon in the woods behind his house. Together with his cousins — the outdoorsy Stephen and skeptical Cathy — he finds himself caught up in an adventure that dates back to the Middle Ages. This young adult fantasy is perfect for fans of The Dark is Rising or A Wrinkle in Time.
