Publisher Comments:

Twelve-year-old Henry York wakes up one night to find bits of plaster in his hair. Two knobs have broken through the wall above his bed and one of them is slowly turning . . .Henry scrapes the plaster off the wall and discovers cupboards of all different sizes and shapes. Through one he can hear the sound of falling rain. Through another he sees a glowing room-with a man pacing back and forth! Henry soon understands that these are not just cupboards, but portals to other worlds.

100 Cupboards is the first book of a new fantasy adventure, written in the best world-hopping tradition and reinvented in N. D. Wilsons inimitable style.

From the Hardcover edition.

Synopsis:

After his parents are kidnapped, timid twelve-year-old Henry York leaves his sheltered Boston life and moves to small-town Kansas, where he and his cousin Henrietta discover and explore hidden doors in his attic room that seem to open onto other worlds.

I admit I was intrigued at first by the cover and then by the title, and then the book won me over with its unpretentious characters and easy flowing storyline. I often re-read the books of my youth, and I realized as soon as I finished this book that it was going to be one of those magical books I want to share with my children. It’s rather like a modern version of Narnia, only instead of one magical wardrobe it’s like the Magicians Nephew with many worlds… 99 to be exact and one extra door that leads to them all… While it’s likely meant for a preteen, it’s a great read for any age!!
