The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown

I haven’t read any books by this author before but the premise really intrigued me. I could very easily see a sequel being written as there is lots more to explore. I really enjoyed the book, although I didn’t find the explanation as to where the books came from to be plausible – that’s the only thing I would change.

Cassie Andrews is sharing a flat with her best friend Izzy in New York City. She has her dream job of working in a bookshop, and she is shocked when one of her favourite customers dies in the bookstore leaving her a very special book – The Book of Doors. Inside it says that any door is every door. Merely imagining a door can take you there – present and past! This unlocks a wonderful world for Cassie and Izzy – until one day they find that others also want the Book, and will stop at nothing to get it. What’s more the Book of Doors isn’t the only magical book.

Definitely a good read, especially if you like magic, time travel, and adventure. The characters are well drawn and very believable.  I really hope he writes a sequel.
