Product Description:
As punishment for a crime he didn't really commit, Matt was given a choice: go to jail or go live with an old woman named Mrs. Deverill in a remote town called Lesser Malling.
He should have chosen jail.
A strange and sinister plan is coming together made in Lesser Malling, with Matt at the center of it all. People who try to help him disappear . . . or die. It all ties to an evil place named Raven's Gate - a place whose destiny is horrifyingly intertwined with Matt's own.

This was a great book, I couldn't put it down. I wanted to know more about Matt and felt bad for him and his grim situation. I hope that the Gatekeepers would be made into a movie, it would be filled with suspense and intrigue, like the book series. I havent gotten the other books in the series yet, but am excited to read them. Matt Freeman is a great charactor, Horowitz wrote a fab book. I would recommend this book to not only the junior high set, but older kids and adults, its hard to stop reading it once you get started.

Author: Anthony horowitz Ravens Gate *****
It all starts on a rainy night while Matt is waiting for the older boy, tonight they would rob the wharehouse. He didn't feel good about this but he needed the money. After they where in the wharehouse, he heard a scream, then sirens. Next thing he knew he was being asked if he wanted jail or to live with a old women named Jayne Devirell. He should've chosen jail. This a great fantasy book that you can't put down.

During a summer visit to my home town,my nephew Chris, introduced me to the Gate Keepers series. I was hooked.What a refreshing and thrilling writer Anthony Horowitz is! I am now starting in on the Alex Rider series. You can't go wrong with this author for young teens!

Matt isn't really a bad kid, he's just looking for someplace to belong and maybe a reason. He is however different from your average kids, and someone out there seems to know that. When he finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, Matt's entire life is ripped apart and he is sent on a journey that is more than a little strange, and altogether terrifying.
Worse yet, when he finds himself packed off to Lesser Malling, things get even weirder. Knowing he needs to escape the nightmare he is living, Matt is faced with mortality and his true self. But everyone who tries to help Matt ends up dead or missing. Is the place he's supposed to call home filled with witches or is there a greater evil at hand?
Anthony Horowitz writes a remarkably dark tale. As an adult, I wondered if it might be too graphic for the kids, but I could not put it down. I can see where readers of the dark and gritty would high five Mr. Horowitz's talent for the creepy. A very good read and I am looking forward to Evil Star.

This was an awesome book written by Anthony Horowitz. One of the most addicting books I have ever read. One of those books you can't even think of abandoning. The best part is that it's written perfectly a little descriptive yet right to the point at the same time.
This book is about a teenager by the name of Matt. Matt's parents died when Matt was only six. The day they died Matt realized something, he was different not only did he know his parents were going to die the way they did he dreamed it the exact way it happened every detail was precise. And from that day forth he has felt terrible for not telling his parents about the dream. Now in his teen years Matt's a real trouble maker, but one day he takes it to the subsequent level a real theft at a warehouse. He gets caught his punishment is the LEAF project he is sent to Lesser Malling with Ms.Deverill Matt knows something weird is happening in Lesser Malling and he also knows he is a big part of it.
This book is easy to read but gruesomely describes murder scenes. So with that I would recommend this book to anyone above the seventh grade.
