I read this book in 5th grade and I forgot how good it is! This book contains secrets and lies, good vs. evil, and a plot to destroy the world as we know it. I read this all day, non-stop. My hands were glued to the pages! Seriously, kudos to Anthony Horowitz. One of my favorite books.

14 year old Matthew Freeman, better known as Matt, lost his parents to a car crash when he was 8 years old. Now, he is in a whole lot of trouble. He is being blamed for a crime that he didn't really do. Matt's options for punishment are jail or staying with a woman named Mrs. Deverill in a small town called Lesser Malling. He probably would've been better off in jail.

The longer Matt stays in Lesser Malling, he realizes something completly unnatural is going on. Everything is tied to him in a sinister plot to open Raven's Gate, an ancient place designed to hold evil spirits in captivity. Matt needs answers, but everyone who tries to help him ends up dead. With the help of his friend Richard Cole, Matt must discover who he is, what he can do, and save the world by sealing Raven's Gate. He has to fulfill his destiny.
