On the Midwinter Day that is his eleventh birthday, Will Stanton discovers a special gift--he is the last of the Old Ones, immortals dedicated to keeping the world from dominations by the forces of evil, the Dark. At once, he is plunged into a quest for the six magical Signs that will one day and the Old Ones in the final battle between the Dark and the Light. And for the twelve days of Christmas, while the Dark is rising, life for Will is fill of wonder, terror, and delight.

Christopher with a K ,

Doesn’t hold up

Loved this as a kid, but as an adult I’m disturbed by the Eurocentric, binaristic ideology that forms this fantasy. And I’m tired of hyper-individualistic fantasies that follow the marginal competence of a white male child who has done nothing to earn his exceptional status and power, and bumbles through to triumph thanks to others picking up his slack.
