Gabriel Finley and the Raven's Riddle - George Hagen, Scott Bakal
Gabriel Finley is a twelve-year-old boy with a penchant for riddles. They remind him of the word games he used to play with his father, who disappeared three years ago. In George Hagen’s Gabriel Finley & the Raven’s Riddle (Schwartz & Wade, $16.99), he starts to learn the story behind that disappearance—he and his family are caught up in a long battle against evil, stretching back to Odin and his two ravens, Munnin and Huginn. Gabriel meets some curious allies on his search for answers, including a raven. It’s a good thing, too, because Gabriel’s going to need all the help he can get to save the world from his evil uncle Corax. Ages 9-12. SB
