The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown
5.0
Cassie is closing up the New York bookstore where she works when she finds Mr Webber, an elderly regular in the store, has passed away. He leaves behind his copy of a book titled The Of Doors and the cover tells Cassie the book is for her, along with the message - any door is every door. It doesn't take Cassie long to realise it means that literally, any door can take her through every door. Her friend Izzy initially enjoys jumping around the city but warns Cassie against using the book, saying it can't be safe. When they're approached by Drummond Fox - The Librarian - who tells them they are in danger, there are more books, and there are people who will stop at nothing to get them. Especially The Book Of Doors.
This story reminded me of Locke and Key but with books instead of keys. Regardless of the similarities, the writing is so engaging, clever, and fun. It has magic, time travel, great characters, and I loved the friendships between all the characters. I loved how all the stories tied together in the end and how Cassie grew over the course of the story. Even if the concept wasn't particularly original the story was smart and well put together, I truly loved it.
