Raven's Gate (The Gatekeepers #1)

About this book

As punishment for a crime he didn't really commit, Matt was given a choice: go to jail or go live with an old woman named Mrs. Deverill in a remote town called Lesser Malling.
He should have chosen jail.
A strange and sinister plan is coming together made in Lesser Malling, with Matt at the center of it all. People who try to help him disappear . . . or die. It all ties to an evil place named Raven's Gate - a place whose destiny is horrifyingly intertwined with Matt's own.

Reviews

"Horowitz's talent for building suspense is as strong as ever, and this unnatural tale, which descends into ancient evils, should attract a strong following." Publishers Weekly

"It's what's inside all the thrills, however, that makes the book so strong: characters that readers will care about and root for." Booklist

"This powerful struggle between good and evil is a real page-turner." School Library Journal
