"It would be like opening the door that was supposed to take you home and discovering you couldn’t breathe the air anymore.”

Poignant small book about finding a door (literally) that takes you to a world where you fit in exactly, and then losing it. What a heartbreak. I'll definitely continue with the series.

It was a little slow to get going, which makes sense since there had to be a lot of explanation about how things work but once it got going I really liked it.   I liked the characters and the various worlds, and of course, it's always interesting to think what my world might be (although since I can't think of one I'm afraid I'd end up at the other school).
