The Haven
(10 reviews with an average rating of 5 out of 5)
Publisher: Hachette
When Ollie’s pulled from his bed by masked men in the middle of the night and his guardian, Nancy, is murdered, it’s only thanks to the help of street kid Dodge that he survives.
Dodge takes Ollie to The Haven: a secret refuge for kids with nowhere else to go. Run by the children themselves, The Haven helps get lost or homeless kids off the streets and give them a new start.
Ollie’s desperate to find out why Nancy was murdered, but the Haven has other priorities: kids from the city’s gangs are going missing. Who’s taking them? And why? Quickly sucked into the investigation, Ollie joins his new friends as they uncover a terrifying plot by mob boss Maddy Sikes. Not just the kids’ lives, but the whole of London is at stake…
A well-layered action thriller, this is perfect for readers who enjoy a tense story packed with life-threatening danger. A number of different threads run through it that the author very cleverly pulls together in the dramatic finale.
How are Nancy and Maddy Sikes linked? Can they prevent the different street gangs from going to war? And, perhaps most importantly, can they save The Haven itself?

I really enjoy reading this book as it is so dramatic and you are always thinking what is going to happen next. Usually it is something completely different to what I expected. It really made me want to read on all the time, I didn't want to stop reading.

So far, what I have read is brilliant. 'The Haven' is very intriguing and exciting to read. I would definitely recommend this book to children who enjoy slightly gruesome but thrilling reads.

I really enjoy this book because when you start to read it you never want to put it down and it has really good cliffhangers. I was walking down my road and I saw a drain (that leads to the sewage pipes) and I ran. Read this book to find out what I'm talking about. I love this book and will definitely read the others in this series.

Great book! I enjoyed it and read it in two nights because it was so good and engaging. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in dystopian stories or fans of Patrick Ness.
