Book Reviews of The White Gates
Book Review: Great book for the whole family
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book! The characters were believable and the plot exciting and compelling. I enjoyed waiting for it to play out. It it a well crafted book with an airtight plot and great pacing. Ms Ranthum has a great eye for details especially when it comes to her characters. She breathes life into them with her wonderful descriptions of how they look, move, gesture and interact with others and their dialogue is individualized, and full of character. Her supporting cast of grown-ups are equally well written. The references to classic literature made the book loads of fun from an adult perspective. Best of all, my kids loved this book, and are eagerly awating more books with Torin, Rain and Drake. I have high hopes that these three characters will be elevated in our house to the ranks of Harry Ron and Hermione, and Percy, Annabeth and Grover.
Summary of The White Gates
WHEN TORIN SINCLAIR?S mom gets a job as the town doctor in Snow Park, Colorado, Tor can?t wait to learn to snowboard. But on Tor?s first night there, a member of the high school snowboarding team dies. ?It?s the curse,? everyone whispers. Tor?s new friends Drake and Raine explain that there?s an old Native American curse on the doctors of the town. Snow Park can never get a doctor to stay. Tor and his friends must piece together a mystery involving an old mine, a Ute curse, the entire snowboarding team?who just might be blood doping in order to win competitions? and an attempt to save the wild river otters of Colorado. But to complete the puzzle, will Tor have to ride the deadly White Gates? And how will he survive the avalanche that follows?Winter Sports Books
