Upper MG / YA Portal Fantasy — Ages 12+

Perfect for readers who love Philip Pullman, Diana Wynne Jones, and Neil Gaiman.

They didn’t mean to unlock the universe. Now they can’t close the door.

When Alby, a boy afraid of nearly everything, and Violet, a girl afraid of nothing, discover that their town librarian keeps a magical secret, they’re thrown into a conflict far bigger than their quiet lives. A legendary artifact—the Door of Worlds—has awakened, and its power to open paths across the multiverse has drawn the attention of the ruthless Society of Seven.

Pursued by magicians, machines, and monsters through strange and perilous worlds, Alby and Violet must protect the Door before Earth becomes the next target. But unraveling the truth about the Door means facing impossible choices, ancient betrayals, and a destiny neither of them saw coming.

A genre-bending adventure filled with heart, humor, mystery, and multiverse magic, The Door of Worlds blends the wonder of Narnia, the high-stakes tension of His Dark Materials, and the imaginative spark of Neil Gaiman.

Content Guidance: Fantasy peril, war themes, emotional intensity, and scenes of danger appropriate for readers 12+. Tone and stakes align with Harry Potter, Narnia, and His Dark Materials.
