Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
If you could open a door to anywhere, where would you go?
In New York City, bookseller Cassie Andrews is living an unassuming life when she is given a gift by a favourite customer. It's a book - an unusual book, full of strange writing and mysterious drawings. And at the very front there is a handwritten message to Cassie, telling her that this is the Book of Doors, and that any door is every door.
What Cassie is about to discover is that the Book of Doors is a special book that bestows an extraordinary powers on whoever possesses it, and soon she and her best friend Izzy are exploring all that the Book of Doors can do, swept away from their quiet lives by the possibilities of travelling to anywhere they want.
But the Book of Doors is not the only magical book in the world. There are other books that can do wondrous and dreadful things when wielded by dangerous and ruthless individuals - individuals who crave what Cassie now possesses.
Suddenly Cassie and Izzy are confronted by violence and danger, and the only person who can help them is, it seems, Drummond Fox. He is a man fleeing his own demons - a man with his own secret library of magical books that he has hidden away in the shadows for safekeeping. Because there is a nameless evil out there that is hunting them all...
Because some doors should never be opened.

the allure of time travel and magic books
as kids we wished we had powers to make people do what we want or travel through doors to imaginary worlds that's what intrigued me I think, the main characters are quirky and relatable and the bad guys downright nasty and evil, gets a bit confusing with the back and forwards story telling on the time travel scene's but all in all a good story.

Utterly engrossing and a wonderful story.
This is going to be very high up on my list of favourite books. The story, the writing and the narration are outstanding and I absolutely loved it. I know I’ll be listening to this treasure again and again. Most definitely recommended.

Outstanding story and excellent narrator
I could not stop listening to this book. The twists and turns were brilliant. All the threads throughout the book led back to one another in a way you just couldn’t predict. The narrator also nailed all the accents. Wonderful. Will be one I return to again and again.

Brilliant
I was hooked from the start.
An unusually weird and wondeful tale, sometimes gruesome but full of friendship, trust and hope. Twists and turns from the start to keep you gripped! An excellent read, highly recommend. The narration is perfect. 10 /10.
