Product Description

Evil has been unleashed on the world and only five children – with special powers – can save it. Matt and the other three desperately need to find Scar, the final gatekeeper, who has been trapped in Hong Kong, where puddles of water turn into puddles of blood, where ghosts, demons and hideous creatures stalk the streets. Matt has no choice but to follow her. Now, both imprisoned, their only hope of survival is to reach a secret door in the Man Ho temple. But even if Scar can find her psychic power, it may already be too late.

Review
"* "There aren't many writers who in one book can bridge the gap between Enid Blyton, Ed McBain and JRR Tolkein, but it's the kind of challenge that the energetic Horowitz relishes." The Daily Telegraph * "Horowitz is marvellous at getting inside the minds of disenfranchised marginalised teenage boys." The Times"

A good read!
This book arrived on time and in good condition. My son says it's a good read.

The Best Book So Far
As a massive Anthony Horowitz fan, this book could not be missed. I much prefer his Power of Five series to the Alex Rider books, and this book is proof as to why. Action galore, from page 1. The penultimate book of the series sees the Five meet for the very first time in Hong Kong which The Old One's are using as their base. Brilliant writing, easy to read, and very gripping. This book is probably the darkest that Horowitz has written and also his best yet. It leaves me excited for the fifth and final book in the series due for release in 2010.
