Gabriel Finley and the Lord of Air and Darkness (Gabriel Finley #2)
by George Hagen (Author)
This exciting, emotionally rich middle grade fantasy continues the adventures of Gabriel Finley and the Raven's Riddle--which has been compared to Harry Potter, The Mysterious Benedict Society, and Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials.
Gabriel Finley is longing to find his mother, who vanished without a trace when he was just a baby. Along with Gabriel's raven, Paladin--with whom he has a magical bond that enables them to become one creature and FLY!--and his three friends, he ventures back to the ruined underground city of Aviopolis to free her from the rune in which she has been imprisoned.
But Aviopolis is home to Corax, the Lord of Air and Darkness, who is also Gabriel's uncle. And before Tabitha Finley is released, Gabriel must answer a riddle...or else be imprisoned for eternity within a rune himself.
"Not to be missed." --Publishers Weekly, Starred

Gr 4-6--Secrets abound in the Finley household: Where did Gabriel Finley's mother disappear to, and why won't his father tell him? Who is the father of Gabriel's close friend Abby, who lives in Gabriel's house along with her cross mother, who won't tell Abby anything? It's up to Gabriel and his three brave and loyal friends--Abby, Pamela, and Somes--to find the answers and save the world from the evil demon Corax. In this follow-up to Gabriel Finley and the Raven's Riddle, characters both human and raven solve potentially life-and-death puzzles. Gabriel and his friends travel to the Underworld below New York City to free Gabriel's mother, and encounter danger, such as the wicked "valravens," who seek to free Corax from the imprisonment Gabriel and his friends unwittingly imposed and who try to exact revenge. VERDICT Full of mystery, intriguing riddles, and magic, this sequel enchants readers from beginning to end.
