 Annotation:

The booklist declares that this book is a first-rate fantasy for middle-grade readers. The main character, Gabriel, is an eleven years old boy. Gabriel lived with his aunt and his father disappeared several years earlier and his mother has been gone since he was a baby. The thing he enjoys most is solving riddles and this skill will be essential when it comes to finding his father. Gabriel must use all his wits to secure two magical objects from a dark lord, his evil uncle Corax, who is part human, part raven. This story involved into a large cast of characters and George narrated it in a humorous tone. Middle-graders looking for a soaring fantasy that’s not too hard, not too easy, will find this just right.
