What dangers are locked behind the cupboard doors? Henry isn't brave, but when he hears a thumping and scratching on the other side of his bedroom wall, he can't ignore it. He scrapes off the plaster and discovers mysterious doors--cupboards of all different shapes and sizes. Through one he sees a glowing room and a man strolling back and forth. Through another he sees only darkness and feels the cold sense that something isn't right. When his cousin Henrietta boldly travels into the worlds beyond the cupboards, it's up to Henry to follow her. Now that he's opened the doors, can he keep the evil inside from coming through?

I was intrigued by the cover, so I picked it up on cd, and popped it into my cd player. I was amazed by the worlds that were created. I journeyed with Henry Yorke as he went through the cupboards, and as he discovered secrets about himself and his uncle. A wonderful book that makes me wish I had an attic full of cupboards in my house! ( )

Creepy and confusing. I didn't really like it. ( )

children's fiction; suspense. This one takes a while to settle in, but after 50 pages or so you're hooked. Also be sure to catch the sequel, Dandelion Fire. ( )

This was a fun read with an interesting story line. I always enjoy a story with magic and mystery and this definitely included those elements. I would certainly recommend the series to young readers and adults who like to read young adult and children's books. However, the characters did not hook me enough to make me want to run out to buy book 2. ( )
