Is that the series that the book Silver on the Tree is from? I bought the book years ago, but then was never able to find the other books, and since I absolutely hate picking up books in the middle of a series, I never read it.
... although you didn't pick up a book from the middle of the series... "Silver on the Tree" is the very last in the series.
While it's been so long since I read them that I can't actually tell you whether they are written in a fashion that is any good for you right now as an adult, I can tell you for absolute certain that they were written in a way that could suck in a bright and avid pre-teen reader and fire his imagination for life :)
So maybe have a hunt around some time (I'm sure they're re-release the omnibus editions with the movie) and pick up a copy to read/give to Rhi when she's of an age :)
I read these books in my early teens, after my friend tweekedcat recommended The Dark Is Rising to me. I -loved- this series.
I saw the preview awhile back. Back when I I went with tafkaj99 to see some movie. I forget what it was right now, but I'm all sick and muddle headed. But for some reason I remember the previews, and The Dark is Rising was one of them (So was Spiderwick, which looks interesting). I didn't recognize it from the preview and was floored when they showed the title of the movie. OMG!

I'm so afraid they've gone and mucked it up.

When you click the banner, don't bother clicking into the site with language/country. The preview will load on the first page.
