This book follows the story an orphaned child who has been running wild and getting into trouble with the police as he is adopted by his grandmother and carted off to a strange and remote town away from the cities and from trouble. He finds himself in a tiny little village full of elderly and weird people with strange traditional values. He soon realises the village is not as it seems and plans to run away. He gets caught up in a dark magic plot by the residents of the town to release great evil from bindings within the earth and he is required as part of the ritual. We foolow him in his terrifying and captivating journey from being held prisoner to planning an escape and avoiding providing the blood that will release the ancient creatures. Can he realy succeed against all the odds?? The evil character development is also very good with a real picture of the the characters being formed with each sentence.
Although this book has all the makings of a terrifying thriller in some way it doesnt fulfill its potential. The plot and twists are fantastic and keep you hooked although the style is simple and monotonous although the ending is a brilliant culmination of all the scary and spooky events. The book is well worth reading for 10-13 year olds and is great as a bedtime read. However another good book for readers of the same age is Horrowitz horrers a collection of terrifying tales that will keep you awake all night I bought this book at WHSmiths for £6.99 however there will now be many cheaper online options and one of the cheapest places is on the web at amazon.co.uk for £4.99 but im sure that if you wanted to buy it cheaper you could buy it second hand for as little as a pound.
The characters: thought this book was really good. The descriptions of the characters were so real you could relate to them. The only bad thing was the fact it was quite confusing and fast paced in places.
