Official Synopsis
The Kings have been in the creepy old place, their new home, for only a few days, but they’ve experienced enough terror to last a lifetime. And the mystery is growing even more baffling. Shadowy and shifting, the big house conceals doors into other worlds that blur the line between memories and dreams-and the slightest misstep can change history forever.
At least, that’s if they believe the trembling old man who shows up claiming to know them. “There’s a reason you’re in the house,” he tells them. “As gatekeepers, we must make sure only those events that are supposed to happen get through to the future.”
The problem is that horrors beyond description wait on the other side of those gates. As if that weren’t enough, the Kings are also menaced by sinister forces on this side-like the dark, ancient stranger Taksidian, who wants them out now.
Xander, David, and Toria must venture beyond the gates to save their missing mother-and discover how truly high the stakes have become.
My ReviewI really liked Gatekeepers, along with the whole Dreamhouse Kings series. Not only is it fast-paced and easy to read, but I feel like I never know what’s going to happen next. The house and the time portals never cease to surprise me. Additionally, the deep character development, especially that of Taksidian and Jesse, compels me to keep reading. I definitely want to find out what’s going to happen next.
I would definitely recommend any young adult (or even adult!) add Gatekeepers to their reading list. That being said, I would not necessarily recommend that younger children read it, because there are some parts that are creepy or violent. However, I believe it is perfectly suited to people in middle school on up.
