Review *"The Boggart is a fascinating character, sly, ingenious, and endearing...What is most admirable is Susan Cooper's seamless fusion of the newest technology and one of the oldest forms of wild magic." Source: The Horn Book, starred review*"[T]old with Cooper's usual imagination and grace; the Boogart is entrancing--a magically witty mix of fey spirit, comfort-loving cat, old man set in his ways, and child taking gleeful delight in his own mischief--of which there is plenty, all splendidly comical." Source: Kirkus Reviews, starred review"The intelligently thought-out clash between the ancient folkloric creature and modern science guarantees a wide audience. A lively story, compelling from first page to last, and a good bet for a read-aloud." Source: School Library Journal, starred review"Ms. Cooper's grasp of reality is as firm as her hold on the surreal...as long as writers with Susan Cooper's skill continue to publish, magic is always available." Source: The New York Times Book Review"[T]his boisterous romp draws upon the same powerful pre-Christian magic at the heart of Cooper's well-known Dark Is Rising sequence. “ Source: Publishers Weekly Read more About the Author Susan Cooper is one of our foremost children’s authors; her classic five-book fantasy sequence The Dark Is Rising has sold millions of copies worldwide.

Fabulous book. I started it with my 7year old daughter 24 years ago, read it with my son a few years later, and now I'm reading it with my oldest granddaughter. There's just enough fantasy, mixed with real life, to make it believable. The children are realistic, and the conversational language is good. The book also provides some historical background about Great Britain and ancient myth. It's appropriate for boys or girls, and it's fun with an underlying theme of good over evil. I think it's timeless. And don't miss her Dark is Rising series for children 9 and over!

What a wonderful story
I've always been a fan of Susan Cooper's writing, and this is another excellent addition to her library of fantastic works to delight the child in even the oldest among us.

interesting from the start
My son needed this book for a school project & wasn't really happy about being "forced" to read. However, this book captured his interest quickly, and he really ended up enjoying it.

Worth re-reading all these years later
The Boggart has been with me since I first read it as a child. Going back to it all these decades later, I was delighted by its charm and magic all over again. The story is like a time capsule, capturing both Scottish lore and the early history of computer technology. Great!

The Boggart
I got exactly what I expected when I ordered this book. For some reason, I haven't been able to find this book anywhere locally for a reasonable price. When it comes to used books, I never pay over a few dollars. This one was worth going online.
