    Fourteen-year old finds he has special abilities that help him in fighting supernatural forces
  

*by K***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 14, 2019*

Having read a few of Anthony Horowitz's more recent books, I was pleased to find this first in a series for middle-grade and older readers. The story is about Matt Freeman, a fourteen-year-old orphan who strikes up a friendship with Kelvin, an older boy with criminal tendencies. Wanting to maintain his only friendship, Matt commits petty thefts until police catch Kelvin and him. Kelvin stabs a security guard. From that point on, Matt's life takes a straight nosedive. He is offered a choice; he can either go to a juvenile detention facility or agree to work on a farm under close supervision. Matt chooses to work on the farm. He finds that he is under the control of a cruel and sinister woman Mrs. Jayne Deverill.Denied adequate food, forced to work long hours, and locked in at night, Matt plans to escape. He manages to take an old bike on the farm and pedals furiously away. No matter which fork in the road he chooses, Matt ends up back at the farm. He is in the midst of forces and rules he doesn't understand.Matt enlists the aid of a journalist to find out why he hears strange incantations coming from the woods on certain nights, why there is a massive building in the woods that looks like a nuclear power plant, and why the villagers he has had limited access to all stare at him.The plot and pacing of Horowitz's story keep the reader involved, especially as he ratchets up the tension and increases the stakes. Matt's quest to escape leads to violence to those who help him. Supernatural forces are unleashed which are not only coming from around him but from within Matt himself. Middle-grade fiction and older readers will enjoy Matt's story. It's a blend of thriller and supernatural horror.

    I know it’s a kids book….
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 29, 2022*

But I hoped it would not read like a kids book, but it does. A bit like the Percy Poseidon books. Not nearly as good as his Magpie Murder book and this series ends here for me.

    Great audio
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 18, 2015*

I chose to review the series....The first four of this series kept me totally involved in the life of each of the five, and Matt's friend Richard.  I am now halfway through the final book, and the final battle for the world.  Horowitz and Mr. Prebble have made me feel that I was running thestreets dodging bodies, hiding from the enemy, fending the underworld creatures, worried for a friend, running from drug lords or on a stage being sold as a slave ....It has had it all for me.  At times I have felt lumps in my throat and my heart race.  Prebble's voice and tone has had an eeriedelivery that made me feel the danger throughout.  This is the first book and I was hooked immediately.  I was disappointed thatMr. Prebble was absent for the final book "Oblivion,'  but Panting does an equally fine job....
