Book Overview

IN THE DEAD of night, a cloaked figure drags a heavy box through snowcovered streets. The chest can only be opened when the fangs of its serpent's-head clasp taste blood. Centuries later, in an Oxford library, a boy touches a strange book and feels something pierce his finger. The volume is wordless, but fine veins run through its pages, and they seem to quiver, as if alive. Words begin to appear in the book--words only the boy can see.

best book

I enjoyed Endymion Spring alot. Like Philip Pullman's series, it's based in Oxford. I'm a girl and I still enjoyed it. Boys and girls should read this book. Go into the past with Endymion Spring as he discovers the book, and go into the future as blake witnesses the book's power. The goes from swithes from old Germany to Oxford as present. Trust me you'll enjoy this book very much

Really great book

This was a really good book. It is good from the front cover to the back cover. I would recommend this book to anybody who enjoys being "transported" to another time and place through words.

Never Judge a Book by Its Cover - It Can Bite!

Little did Blake know the adventure on which he would be taken when the volume "Endymion Spring" bit him from its shelf at Bodleian Library at Oxford University. Together with his annoyingly precocious sister, Duck, they set out to solve the mystery of a book whose pages are blank to all except Blake who has been chosen by the book. But for what?
