Beyond the Doors

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Isa Bancewicz. Their mother's disappearance and father's accident forces the four Rothbaum children to move into their previously unknown aunt Gladys's crazy, circular house. When they discover that Aunt Gladys uses doors as memory portals, the siblings quest through memories to uncover the truth behind their parents' misfortune. Despite its poorly delineated characters, the quirky, slightly dark tale may appeal to Madeleine L'Engle's fans.
