Nine-year-old Erik (three months shy of his 10th birthday) writes a blog entitled "This Kid Reviews Books." It's read by other kids and their parents all over the globe. He reviewed "The Mahogany Door" -- and the CD -- and interviewed the author. Since he a member of the book's target audience, we couldn't be happier with his review. Enjoy!
The Mahogany Door and Interview with Author J. Mark Boliek
by Erik
What would you do if you could save someone who was lost in a different world? Years ago, JT, Kali, Michael and Charlie traveled to the world of Bruinduer through The Mahogany Door, a magical portal. The friends thought Charlie died in Bruinduer, but he didn’t. He is just trapped and the others now realize it and they vow to get him back. JT, Kali and Michael have to travel back through The Mahogany Door. They’ll face old enemies, fight in a war, cross a desert, have to find trust in Billy (their guide in Bruinduer) and convince Charlie (who wasn’t happy to see them) to come back home.
I have to say, when I first started into the story I thought it was going to be too much like the Witch, Lion and the Wardrobe, but it wasn’t. The story of The Mahogany Door is unique. The story really kept me reading (seriously, I couldn’t put the book down (see my Dad’s comments below)). I like how the book is told by a narrator telling the story to young kids. The reading level was good for 9+ readers and there really are no parts that are slow. There are also some nice illustrations throughout the book. I recommend it to everyone!!!!!CLICK HERE TO READ THE REST OF ERIK'S REVIEW
