1-3Magic Door series.
Illustrated by
Dean Morrissey.
Characters from Morrissey's picture books appear in this chapter book. After going through a magic door in a toy shop, Joey, Sarah, and Michael help the man in the moon rescue the moon--which is really a flying machine--from a giant. The unusual adventure will grab the attention of readers, but Morrissey's detailed, photorealistic illustrations fare poorly on the book's small pages.
