Raven's Gate

Raven's Gate is the first book in the Power of Five series and is written by Anthony Horowitz. There are a total of four books in the series so far and I think that this is not the best one. This book is about a boy named Matt who is one of the Five. He was a rebel in the start of the book and was sent to Hive Hall to live with his new foster parent. There, Matt lives with an old woman who is acting very suspicscious. When strange things start happening, Matt tries to escape but always finds himself back where he started. When Matt tries to escape through the woods, he finds Omega One, an abandoned nuclear station. When Matt sees lights coming from it even though it has not been used in twenty years, he starts getting suspiscious. He goes to investigate Omega One and sees the words Raven's Gate scrawled on it. Curious, Matt looks it up on the internet and a message box instantly appears and Professor Sanjay Dravid tells him his name before leaving. When strange things start happening to Matt, he starts getting worried and goes to library to check it out. When it leads him to an author's daughter who gives Matt and Richard Cole, a journalist whom Matt befriended the whereabouts of Professor Dravid. Dravid then starts telling them about the Old Ones who are dark creatures who tried to take over the human world thousands of years ago but were banished by five children with supernatural powers. The Five, or the Gatekeepers banished them to another dimension and built a barrier called Raven's Gate to keep them inside that dimension. Dravid tells Matt that he is an incarnation of one of the Five. When Dravid is killed and Matt and Cole are dragged back to Omega One, things start going wrong. If you want to find out what happens you just have to read the book. I highly recommend this book as it is extremely interesting. Horowitz is also a very good writer and I also recommend the Alex Rider series.
