Condition Report: Very Good. The paperback binding remains secure and square, displaying only minor edge-wear and faint curling to the corners typical of careful shelf storage. The covers retain strong colour without significant creasing to the spine, indicating it has likely seen little to no reading wear. The text block exhibits the standard, uniform age-toning to the page margins common for trade paperbacks of this era, yet the pages remain entirely clean, tightly bound, and free of any tears or extraneous marks.

Catalogue Note: This is a true first edition, first printing of the inaugural volume in the author's acclaimed The Power of Five series, distinguished by the complete number line '2 4 6 8 10 9 7 5 3 1' on the copyright page.

The title page bears the authentic signature of Anthony Horowitz in black ink.

While standard reading copies of this title are plentiful, signed first printings in the original paperback format are uncommonly encountered on the open market, as they were often heavily circulated or discarded rather than preserved by collectors.

When fourteen-year-old Matt Freeman is sent to a rehabilitation programme in the remote Yorkshire village of Lesser Malling, he quickly realises something is deeply wrong. Surrounded by sinister villagers and inexplicable phenomena, Matt uncovers a terrifying conspiracy: a dark cult is attempting to reopen a dimensional portal known as Raven's Gate to unleash a race of ancient demons. With his own latent psychic powers awakening, Matt must fight to survive and stop the gate from opening before the world is consumed by darkness.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
