I only read this for Susan Cooper (I love her Dark is Rising series as well as Seaward). I liked the overall story/concept, but the prose was overly simple. I realize it is meant for young readers (probably elementary-age), but I have come to expect better from Cooper. Also, the story was a little confusing. (

This is a delightful little story about a little boy who is the "puppetmaster" for a magician. When the St. George puppet from "St. George and the Dragon" disappears, Boy must go on a quest through various fairy tales and nursery rhymes to find the missing puppet. (

"A master of fantasy tells a fanciful tale for young children. Boy works for a Magician, polishing wands, feeding the rabbits, and performing a puppet show of "Saint George and the Dragon." Then, one day, the Saint George puppet is missing, so the Magician sends the Boy through the Land of Story to find it. ..This beautifully simple and joyous book is perfect both for newly independent readers to tackle on their own and for adults to share with youngsters"
