Beyond the Knock Knock door by Scott Monk
Random House, 2009. ISBN 9781741664072.
(Primary) This is a modern fantasy, fast moving with an
amazing list
of characters and fearsome animals. The
Bowman triplets are plagued by the terrifying Thornleigh sisters.
Michael gives a homeless man his fare and the
intrigue begins. The triplets answer a
riddle in a door and find themselves embroiled in a world of exotic
people who
challenge them in their beliefs and judgement. It's action packed and
races from one hair raising situation to
the next
with hardly a breath in between. The
text is well spaced and clear, an encouragement to boys to read. Modern
dialogue will appeal to readers.
