Orphan with power series book one
Matt lost his parents at age of 9 and lived with his mother's half sister who only after his inheritance.
He was being neglected and not being taken care of by his aunt and now he got into trouble with a friend who broke into a warehouse and got caught by a security guard. This is not the worst. Worst is that this friend stabbed the guard and now they were in really serious trouble.
He was sent away into a LEAF problem that supposed to put children in facility instead of detention center. Even the police admit this is politics and not really working.
The new guardian was a horrible woman, with a lot of hints that even a young reader could get that she is villain.
He was brought into the country side where he was put to work on hard labor without even a chance to go to school.
Things get even worst.
The new guardian has dark plan for Matt.
Now back to Matt. He was a special child who were unhappy given that he lost his parents and no one care for him. Worst, he was haunted by nightmares where the nightmares would become reality.
Yes. Matt has premonition about the future. He now has a new mystery. What is Raven Gate. It is in the book title so it must be important to the plot.
He tried to runaway in the night only to be lost in the wood that he was in.
He met with a strange farmer who is willing to help. He found another journalist Richard who thought he is a nutcase.
The book is fast pace and Matt is in enough trouble that it is nature for the readers to feel sorry for this boy.
I like this one. It is not the best work as the story is a bit predicable at times. As for the story on the whole and setup, it is pretty okay read. Matt is likable enough and he is in so much trouble that it is easy to feel sorry for him.
This is book one of the Power of Five series. I got the fourth book in a book sale and then found the first 3 in another book sale. This is probably why I have these books. Book sales did have an influence on what books I read.
This is a solid 4 stars read. Recommended for even preteen to teenage readers.
