"Year after year, my students and I would read this book aloud (5th, 6th, and 7th grade). At the end of each year they would vote on their favorite book of the year and The Forgotten Door won every time. We would read it at the beginning of the year as a springboard for looking at how society treats those who are different. I highly recommend this book to teachers and students. This is one book that never will be outdated!"
"Sometimes when I'm reading or watching a great movie, I get sucked into the story and when it's over and I come up for air, it's as if the world had stopped those hours spent enjoying myself. This is how I felt the first time I read the Forgotten Door. I was drawn into the story. It felt as if I had been surrounded by silk, as if in a web, but I was comfortable. It was quiet. The Forgotten Door had an impact on me as far as justice and family loyalty is concerned. It was almost surreal. I even loved the ending. I read that portion of the book several times, feeling peace and acceptance. I also felt sadness and great loss because I couldn't become a part of this new world."
"I did not like this book because it is about a boy who fell through a old forgotten door that leads to a different world. I wish that when he fell through,the other side was aliens or some different creature,like a 80 foot 6 headed ant.If I was the author I would make this book more exciting and interesting and more fairytale like.I rate this book as 1 because it seemed boring that is my opinion."
"Sweet and simple science fiction for young readers. The plot and characters aren't very deep or complicated and the story is pretty tame - some mild suspense but nothing very scary. I didn't realize until I started reading the story that it is set in the mountains of NC - close to where I'm living now. Serendipitous!"
