4.0 out of 5 stars  it is a great book!, April 20, 2000
By A Customer

This book is very scary. Colyn cut a piece of cardboard that let to another world. It may have to do with the strange knife he used to cut it. When he starts seeing the dragons coming he was to think of a wise plan. Andrew Lansdown did a great job with this book. BUY IT!

 

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Book, December 20, 2004
A Kid’s Review

Focusing on the loneliness and seclusion of a boy and his father, Beyond the Open Door emphasizs the imagination as a Colyn, a farm boy, carves peices of wood that seem to change…
When I read this book for the first time in 7th grade, I stopped reading books altogether. It wasn’t because the book was bad, it was because it was so good. I wanted a sequel, and they just never had it; thus, I never read for fun again until senior year, when I rediscovered the book.

Great shape. Quick and easy shipment. This was one of my favorite books when I was younger and it got lost in transit when my parents moved. So glad to find it again.
