Synopsis

Discover the dangers locked behind the cupboard doors in the first book in the bestselling 100 Cupboard series, about 100 cupboard doors leading to 100 worlds of adventure!
 
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 sizes and shapes. 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?
 
Want to know where the cupboards came from? Don’t miss the latest book in the series, The Door Before!

My kids are grown, adults. That said I still often read YA books. They of course like books of any genre and reader level run the gamut from excellent to unreadable. They also have a range of maturity level. I have mentioned before that books on the "YA shelf" can be YA,Ya or yA. This one I'd say is......more

How can it get better--100 small cupboards hidden under plaster in an ordinary-looking Kansas house where Henry has come to await word on his parents, travel writers being held by Columbian kidnappers. His aunt, uncle, and three girl cousins seem perfectly ordinary, but there's a ghost who comes and......more
