Product Description:
Matt is being punished for a crime he saw, but didn't commit. Instead of being locked up, he is being sent to the middle of nowhere to live with a new foster mom, as part of a government scheme called The Leaf Project. But Matt's new home provides anything but peace and quiet. His new guardian is involved in very sinister things . . . and the whole town seems to be on her side. Everybody who tries to help Matt winds up disappearing . . . or dead. The truth is much bigger than Matt or the town -- but Matt is the only person who can stop the ultimate evil from being unleashed.

Yet again this great author has another hit series, We had the great Alex Rider series, Diamond Brothers, Jason Steed (Under a pen name) and now Ravens Gate.
This is great for both Young adult and adults. I am looking foward to more from this great author.

Matt has been accused of committing a crime which actually he really didn't do. So now he has a choice to either go to jail or stay with an old lady named Mrs. Deverill in a remote area called Lesser Malling because of the government's new law called the LEAF Project. Matt should have chosen jail because he will soon find out that someone is planning something there at Lesser Malling, and Matt is in the middle of all the commotion.
Matt's past hasn't been the best. His parents died in a car crash six years ago and he has been living with his mom's stepsister, who doesn't necessarily treat him very well. But Matt has discovered that he has some kind of weird magical power--but doesn't know what it is.
When he gets to Mrs. Deverill's house he isn't treated in the best way possible. Even though he thinks the food is good he has to do chores and basically clean up all of Mrs. Deverill's property. After a while he has had enough of this bizarre nonsense and wants to leave, because this was supposed to be a volunteer act.
But when he tries to take a bike out to the main road back to Greater Malling and then back to London, every road he takes just brings him back to the place he started from. Well, he went home after that, and thought that he'd try the subsequent day.
When coming back to the same spot, a guy named Tom Burgess appears and says he wants to help Matt out because this isn't a safe place to be. He also says that he will explain everything tomorrow at his farm, but what Matt doesn't know is that he will find Tom dead the subsequent day.
After Tom's death things got even worse. Mrs. Deverill starts to come out more strongly and everyone that tries to help him get out of this creepy place just ends up dead. Is Matt's new helper bound to turn up dead, too?

I think this book is incredible!! Once you start reading you can't stop! This book has a twist at every turn. I recommend this book to anybody interested in books like the Harry Potter series--it's just so magnificent!!

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.
