Review: The Gathering

The Gathering by Dan Poblocki
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Five very different children from different places are all drawn to Larkspur for different reasons. When they arrive they are in for a big shock. It's nothing like what they expected. This is a horror book. It's for kids who like to be scared. This is the first of three books. We learn about each of the kids and start to get an idea about why they were summoned to Larkspur when the book ends. To find out more you will need to read the next book.

I felt like the author sometime just put scary things in the book, because he saw it in a scary movie - that it didn't move the plot forward. I thought the book didn't get interesting until we started to learn more about the children and then it ended! I hate when authors do that. It kind of makes me mad.
