Praise for Secret Doors - The Challenge:"Secret Doors is more than just an adventure, it's about the process of growing up as well, of getting the courage to go through all types of perils. Great read!""I'm not normally a fan of young adult books (unless it is rereads of books/series I enjoyed when I was younger) but this book captivated me enough that I read it in one day.""Giant Guinea Pigs. That talk. It's an interesting bit of absurdity that's injected into the fun logic of this world."What if a girl who lost everything met a boy who had nothing? How might it change their lives?For Abby and Stevie it’s the start of their Thanksgiving break. Abby’s foster family has left her behind, locked in their home with nothing but TV dinners and the walls for company. She has a plan, though, and a friend in Stevie that will make the weekend an adventure.There ‘s more in store than she could possibly imagine.Life can be challenging, especially when you’re twelve. For Abby and Stevie, the true challenge waits behind a tiny door at the back of Mr. Kim’s store. When Stevie tries their secret knock (as a joke, because the door is only big enough for a mouse), they are magically taken to a strange place where a room full of kids await selection.The Challenge, which has taken place all over the world, every year for the last thousand, is for a special group of children. It‘s a test of team work, cleverness, and willingness to trust. For Abby, Stevie and their new friends, it is much more because there are those behind the scenes who are not playing fair.It will be a grand adventure that, if they survive, will change their lives forever.
