Why read it?

1 author picked Raven's Gate as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love reading Anthony Horowitz’s mystery series for adults—excellent!—however, I had no idea he’d written a middle-grade adventure series. So, of course, I jumped in and ended up reading all the books in the series.

A master of characterization, Horowitz draws the reader into young Matt Freeman’s troubled world where even more trouble awaits. Of course, in the end, Matt is the only one who can save the world from evil. It is an exciting, well-crafted read that appeals to readers of all ages. Well done, Horowitz.
