The fate of the world depends on one boy, Matt. Raven’s Gate by Antony Horowitz is an adventurous book that will take you on a fascinating journey through the life of a young man named Mathew Freeman. Antony Horowitz tells about an ordinary boy who all of a sudden finds himself in a strange town called Lesser Malling. With a single wrong move, Matt could destroy the destiny of humanity. This story opens with Matt getting punished for a crime he was supposedly accused of committing, but did not. He was given two options, go to jail, or live with an elderly woman named Mrs. Deverill in Lesser Malling through a fostering program to build his character. He chose to live with Mrs. Deverill. However, he promptly realized he had made an extremely
poor decision, but unfortunately it was too late to change anything. After only a couple days at Lesser Malling, Matt felt a strange and peculiar plan coming together in the town. Matt had made numerous amounts of attempts to escape, but he could not find his way out. He was hopelessly trapped. People who try to help Matt sadly die or disappear. An ancient horror is about to be released, and Matt is the only person who can prevent it. This book was exhilarating, and was packed with tons of action. Raven’s Gate is the type of book that you just cannot leave until the very last page. The plot is greatly unique and suspenseful, you can never predict what is coming on the following page. Matt sees things that you are guaranteed not to read about in any other book. Furthermore, another satisfying fact is that there is a great amount of description, and it is almost as if you are there alongside with Matt. You do not have to like action stories to enjoy this book, this book is not just an action story, it is also about Matt’s life. Overall, reading this book was quite enjoyable. I highly recommend it.
