A Great Read For PreTeens
Posted January 19, 2010
By Prism,
The Door Within by Wayne Thomas Batson is the exciting beginning of a fantasy-filled trilogy. Mystery, intrigue, and adventure fill the pages of this very good book. Meet Aidan Thomas, your regular teen guy. Not too popular, and if he ever was it was due to the fact that he was best friends with one of the coolest guys on the block, Robby. However, Aidan and his family must move from everything Aidan knows to care for Aidan's ill grandfather. There, Aidan discovers mysterious scrolls and a door to another world.
Some scenes seemed a little awkward, which is understandable since this series was written before Isle of Fire and Isle of Swords. Also, the whole idea of the story seemed very familiar. The idea of twins in another realm reminded me a little bit of the Circle series by Ted Dekker and it really reminded me of the Wormling series by Jerry B. Jenkins and Chris Fabry.
I would recommend this book to readers ages ten and up. View All Music And Book Reviews By Prism | View Prism's Profile
