12-year-old Henry York has led a strange, if uneventful, life. He has never played baseball, drunk soda, or had parents who paid much attention to him. When his parents are kidnapped on a bicycling trip in South America, Henry travels to Kansas to stay with his aunt, uncle, and cousins. A thump on the wall of his attic bedroom throws Henry into a whirlwind, sometimes creepy, adventure of mysterious cupboard doors that lead to other worlds. Henry and one of his cousins begin to explore, finding notes from their grandfather and meeting a few people from these other worlds. Some of the people want to help, some want to be left alone, and others want something much more sinister than Henry can even imagine.
100 Cupboards combines the best of fantasy and mystery--readers might even find it a little bit scary. Fans of Neil Gaiman's Coraline should check this one out! The books move quickly, so be sure to request the two sequels at the same time.
