Book Review By Aimee
The Gathering by Isobelle Carmody

Something is wrong with Cheshunt, the new town Nathanial has just moved to. He feels it the moment he arrives and realises it is not the model neighbourhood it appears to be. Soon Nathanial learns that his presence is no accident. As the dark call its own, the light draw its champions, and Nathanial finds he must confront phantoms from his own past in his battle to stop the Gathering and its creator... A great book that I thoroughly recommend.
