Ravens Gate Ravens gate is an excellent book by Anthony Horowitz. It is about a young boy named Matthew Freeman. (Matt for short) The book starts off with Matt as an outcast because he lost his parents in a terrible car crash. No one really likes him, and he lives with his aunt. Then he attempts to steal from a warehouse with his "friend" and they get busted by a security officer patrolling the area. Matts "friend" blames matt for the whole thing and matt has the choice of prison or go to a farm town, and live with a old woman who will train him in kindness, passion, and love- or so they say. He lives with her until he figures out that he is one of the five chosen ones to protect the gates from being opened. If opened, the world will be thrown into a pool of chaos. I would give this book a 10 out of 10 because it is one of the best books I have ever read. It has a VERY good story, remarkable characters, and it is very realistic. The author(Anthony Horowitz) made the characters seem very lifelike and makes the reader feel like they are actually there with Matt, figuring out his destiny. That ties in with the reality of the whole book. The story mixed with the realistic characters blends for a truly good story. In conclusion, I recommend reading this book because it has a truly unique story and always keeps you on edge. -Chase-Mr Cosby...blehh
