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. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
For my grandfathers: Lt. Col. Lawrence Aubrey Greensides, USAF (Ret.), and Lt. James Irwin Wilson, USN (Ret.), who tilled the soil of my imagination.
First words
Henry, Kansas, is a hot town.
Quotations
He made his farewells and started back through the empty potholed streets of Henry, Kansas, toward the Willises' side of town. It was as far as he had ever walked by himself, and the freedom of it smelled as good to him as the mitt string he chewed on.

Book description
Henry bliver vækket af en sær bankelyd fra væggen over hans seng. Et øjeblik efter falder små stykker puds ned over ham, og to runde greb kommer til syne. Det ene af dem drejer langsomt rundt. Henry er netop flyttet ind på loftsværelset hos sin onkel, tante og tre kusiner langt ude på landet i Kansas. Væggen ved hans seng vender ud mod enorme marker – rent faktisk burde der ikke være noget som helst på den anden side. Men da han og kusine Henrietta går i gang med at pille mere puds ned, finder de en masse små låger. Og de fører ikke ud til markerne. Gennem en af dem kan man høre silende regn og vindens susen i træerne. Og gennem en anden kan de se et oplyst rum og en mand, der fordeler post. Bag en tredje låge fornemmer Henry en sær og lurende ondskab, der bare venter på at blive sat fri. Pludselig dumper der et brev ind til ham…
