When your thirteen-year-old son requests you to read aloud a book to him, you read it! Even though he had recently read the 100 Cupboard series to himself, my oldest asked me to read aloud book one to him.
Henry's parents have disappeared. He moves across the country to Henry, Kansas with his aunt and uncle and his three female cousins.
When he hears scratching in his bedroom walls one night, he begins to remove the plaster. To his surprise, he discovers a massive cupboard with doors of various sizes. His adventurous cousin Henrietta urges him to explore what is behind the doors. She soon disappears into one of the worlds, and Henry crawls through to find her. The only problem is people and creatures from other worlds can now enter their world. What will their family do when evil enters their world?
Very creative and imaginative writing! The mysteriousness captures the reader's attention. I was not expecting any scary or creepy elements, but all of a sudden the plot turns quite frightening at the end of the book. I like that Mr. Wilson startled me!!
Part of a series.
*Highly recommend (but not for sensitive children/readers).
-My son owns this book.
