Start Reading The Door At The End Of The World Put Together By Caroline Carlson Available In Readable Copy

Door at the End of the World is a charming fantasy adventure written for middlegrade audiences but still tremendously fun as an adult, Clever humor and an offbeat perspective make this novel shine,

Lucy Eberslee, age, is a deputy Gatekeeper at the titular door, The "end of the world" isn't an apocalypse but a place where her world connects to another as part of a network of eight interconnected worlds, For someone living in a magical place, her life is a fairly sedate one featuring lots of organizing forms, Then the Gatekeeper disappears, a boy crashes through from the next world with none of the proper paperwork or even a clue that worlds beyond his own exist, and the door gets stuck closed.
Lucy alerts the proper authorities and tries to offer her assistance investigating the problem, but she discovers that the situation is far more widespread and sinister than one stuck door.
Lucy, the boy Arthur, and a suspicious girl named Rosemary have to take matters into their own hands, They've got a swarm of spelling bees literally bees that can communicate by spelling words on their side, but the fate of all eight worlds is at stake,

In the interest of full disclosure, I should mention that I know the author, However, I would give this book an enthusiastic recommendation even without that connection, I identified with Lucy: small, overlooked by everyone including by those in her immediate family, and good at organizing and bureaucracy, Who knew that these talents would become useful when the doors malfunction, and the malefactor behind the deed might also start unraveling the fabric of time/space itself I did find it somewhat unbelievable as and adult that Lucy was working at age, but tweens will like her independence.
/stars. Tons of fun. I love the characters, the universe, and the fun!,stars. Fun story of an endoftheworld gatekeeper who gets caught up into an adventure/conspiracy, along with a boy who falls through the gate into her world, I love the bees! Very creative and fast paced, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I think my grade fives will love it too! Adventure, humour loved the bees! friendship, mystery and gates to other worlds! What more could you want! I wish there'd been more the story galloped along briskly in that really nice middle grade fantasy adventure way of magical happenings and bright changes of scene and mood with, you know, a herd of magically intelligent cows arriving on the scene, as they do and then there was the peaceful gathering of loose ends which is one of the parts I like best in mg fantasy, and then.

This partfantasy, partscifi MG novel is a thrillride adventure! The door at the end of the world is a really fun adventure with a great trio of characters.
I don't think it's a book I'll read again, but for me, it's amazing I got through this book once considering I read instead of listened to it, I normally can't pay attention to books unless I have the audiobook playing, too,

At times I felt like it had just a little more setting than it knew what to do with, all of these fantastical worlds

yet we really only pay attention to the earth ones.
Still, what it failed to utilize in its frankly, great worldbuilding, it more than utilized in plot and characters, It's got bandits, princes, bureaucracies, and a missing old woman, What else do you want Really cute story! Quick read, fun plot, I wish it was the beginning of a series, The characters were fun and engaging, Caroline Carlson pulled off the perfect trifecta of middle grade adventure, humor and surprise in this scifi/fantasy novel, Part Diana Wynne Jones, part Pratchett this book will easily be a new favorite, Lucy is the perfect heroine with both pluck and self doubt, Readers get to look at their own world a bit sideways, proving to them a new perspective is around every corner, This very fun middle grade adventure story is about Lucy, who is the deputy Gatekeeper at the Southeastern end of the world, In this world, there are gates between worlds that allow people to pass quickly and efficiently from one part of the world to the other, except that the Gatekeeper has gone to do maintenance on the gate and she's very late getting back and then a strange boy shows up.
This is a fun and funny adventurous book with lots of plot twists to keep readers' interest, This book is spectacular and I can't believe I never saw any hype about this online anywhere! I know reading level says, but as ayearold I still absolutely loved this.


I was searching for middle grade fantasy at the library and luckily it had been marked with a sticker, so I found this by sheer coincidence and I'm so glad I did!

MC Lucy Eberslee LOVE her name is such a wonderful character.
And all the other characters introduced after her are also lovely including the bees who steal the show,

The worldbuilding was so fun and creative and we got to see ALL the worlds not so much South, but given all the items coming from there, that helps give a feel for it.
I was afraid a couple might be left out, but it was rounded out so nicely,

The writing and plot were also great and I couldn't help but nod and give props from a writerly standpoint, The dialogue was superb and my heart is so fulfilled after reading this, I read this book to myyearold as his bedtime story over the course of about a month and we both absolutely loved it, There was one point in the climax when he was laughing SO hard and so was I! This is fabulously imaginative and fun with a Diana Wynne Jones sort of feel, filled with great characters, family complications, humor, magical adventures and kindness.


The embarrassing truth is, I'd originally hesitated about buying this book only because I'd had an idea brewing in the back of my head for a while that was somewhat similar in concept, so I selfishly cursed when I first saw this one announced! But from the moment I started reading it, I loved it SO much that my feelings changed completely.
Now, I'm just thrilled that she wrote it and we got to read it, And truthfully, if you enjoy any of my MG novels, I'm pretty sure you'll love this one too,

I can't wait for her next book!,
