Greenwitch by Susan Cooper.
Continuing my read of Cooper's The Dark is Rising series, which I never read as a child. I'm enjoying it. I can see why some of the reviews I've read accuse it of being heavily reliant on a device known as a "plot coupon", as the books are focused on certain portentious poems, and have rather straight-ahead plots without too many serious setbacks to the heroes. That may partly be because they're short and aimed for the YA market.
