"Inside the Worm" is another childhood/young adult "classic" for me. It has that fantastic atmosphere for me, still. The pictures (finnish edition by Karisto) in the beginning of chapters work well in setting the mood as the plot thickens.A class of teenage school children are going to perform a play, to celebrate a historical event: 1000 years ago a dragon that terrorized the village was finally banished by a beautiful maiden. When four people are selected to play the Worm, strange things start to happen as they prepare their costume for the upcoming event. Fliss is selected to play Ceridwen, the maiden, and her best friend Lisa joins Ellie-May, Gary and Trot to play the worm. Fliss has some ominous feelings concerning the play - is there something bigger going on behind the scenes?
