This was a super fun read with my son. Now he wishes there was a magical portal under his bed lol! It’s a fast paced magical & adventurous story that was really enjoyable. The illustrations were great & really helped you delve into the storyline. I can see my son reading this again and again with me happily reading it with him.

Who needs a closet when your bed hides a portal to AWESOMENESS?!

Okay, I’m OBSESSED. 🙌 This book is everything little-me wanted—spooky-but-fun adventure, a brave kid hero, and a door that leads to WOW. Malik is smart, kind, and totally relatable, and I wanted to jump into the story right with him! The illustrations are dreamy, and the story gave me goosebumps and warm fuzzies. If your kiddo loves magical mysteries and bedtime stories with a twist, this one’s a total winner. 🚪🌌✨

This is a super fun read, and a very unique story! Part of what made this story unique is the author combined so many different elements and mixed them into one short story. There were alien-like creatures, a magical portal, and even a troll-like creature. These things ended up making this book feel like a fresh take on the fairytale - one that doesn't feel repetitive or cliche. However, the author did maintain the integrity of a fairytale by creating a kind and understanding main character. Maleek's problem-solving skills and thoughtfulness are infectious, and I have no doubt that these positive characteristics will inspire young readers to do the same in their own lives. This is a great book; bravo!

This most adorable little short story for the budding scifi/fantasy lover. With beautiful artwork and fun, easy to understand prose, this book will allow your little adventurer to have their imagination run wild! I love that it is a positive take on "is there something under the bed?" Yes, adventure. My nephew loved this one.
