The Door to Time by Pierdomenico Baccalario

4.0

I got this from the library for my son, then started reading it myself when I was stuck without another book, and finished it the next day - that's a great part of kids' books, you can read them so fast! It was pretty fun, and I loved the illustrations. The book appears to have been translated from Italian, so there are points where it is a little stilted, but altogether it flows well and is interesting and well-written. It's obvious that it's part of a series - you are constantly reminded that there is more to come by the heavy foreshadowing. It ended on a pretty abrupt "read the next book!" sort of note, which disappointed me a little - I hate when a book can't simply stand alone and be strong enough without its sequel - but otherwise I'd recommend it for a short, exciting (without being overwhelming or scary for little kids)read.
