Description:
Twelve-year-old Kevin Broderick knows that he's better at sports than
school. He also knows that the next time he, his twin sister Katie, and
their little brother Sam go through the silver doorway that connects their
Aunt Ellie's basement to a magical fantasy world, he's going to be ready.
That world is a dangerous place, full of giant owls, spiders, goblins,
and robbers. The best way to stay out of trouble would be to just avoid
the door. But that's easier said than done. So, just in case, Kevin gets a
lesson in how to use a sword from Aunt Ellie's boyfriend, Cal.
Kevin's parents are having troubles of their own. Mom and Dad argue all
the time. They might even be thinking about getting a divorce. Their
vacation, a week-long cruise for just the two of them, could be their last
chance to save their marriage.
While they're gone, the kids will be spending the whole week with Aunt
Ellie. Kevin knows that the temptation of the door will be too much for
Katie and Sam to resist. Sooner or later, they'll have a chance to try and
sneak through.
Sooner or later turns out to be that very night, when Ellie and Cal go
out on a date and leave the kids on their own with Chester the cat. But it
isn't Katie and Sam who are tempted this time. It's Kevin.
Because the girl who has come through the silver door is the most
beautiful girl he has ever seen. She's an elf, able to cast magic spells,
and she is on a quest for an enchanted cup that will make her divorcing
parents fall in love again. She needs help. She needs someone to protect
her.
And maybe, just maybe, if the cup works on Talaitha's parents ... it
might work on Mom and Dad, too.
Written for readers ages 7-12.
