Join us for a discussion of "The Book of Doors" by Gareth Brown.
Book Summary: In New York City, bookseller Cassie Andrews is living an unassuming life when she is given a gift by a favorite customer; an unusual book, full of strange writing and mysterious drawings. On the first page, there is a handwritten message to Cassie, telling her that this is the Book of Doors, and that “any door is every door."
What Cassie is about to discover is that the Book of Doors bestows extraordinary powers on whoever possesses it. Soon she and her best friend Izzy are exploring all that the Book of Doors can do, swept away from their quiet lives by the possibilities of travelling to anywhere they want.
The Book of Doors is not the only magical book in the world. There are other books that can do wondrous and dreadful things when wielded by dangerous and ruthless individuals — individuals who crave what Cassie now possesses. Suddenly Cassie and Izzy are confronted by violence and danger, and the only person who can help them is Drummond Fox, a man fleeing his own demons with a secret library of magical books hidden away in the shadows for safekeeping — because there is a nameless evil out there hunting them all, and because some doors should never be opened.
We recommend you place a hold on the select title a month prior to the meeting for ample reading time. If you'd like to place a hold over the phone, please call the Fiction/AV/Teen desk at 847-590-4070.
