Book 1 in the 'Ashtown Burial' series, and as such, took about half of the book to set down the back story. It picked up after that, and in part can be compared to 'The Goonies', 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' (though in less of a 'sweet' manner) and 'Ghostbusters'. Please note that this reader...
This book was filled with adventure, danger, and mystery. But it was also filled with awful adults - uncaring, uninformative, and indifferent to the needs of the children. As an adult, I was appalled. As a middle grader, I would probably overlook this aspect of the story and became lost in the adven...
First off: ages 9-12? The writing is way to complicated and the book is too gory for this age group . . .I'm usually a sucker for beautiful, lyrical writing. But sometimes, I feel like authors try too hard to attain this. N.D. Wilson writes as though he's trying to make every sentence a masterpie...
I thought this story was okay. I read a lot of children's book and I liked the storyline but I thought the story jumped around a lot. I did not like Henry's reaction when he was told about his parents, one sentence about his reaction did not seem like good enough for me. I can only hope that the se...

I like how one of the cupboards led into another cupboard and Henry tugged on Henryetta's hair through the cupboard. I would recomend this book to ...
This book definitely should be made into a movie. What a pleasurable read. I enjoyed every minute of it and didn't want it to end. The author left it open for a sequel, so I hope he makes one.A boy finds a wall of cupboards plastered up in his attic bedroom. The all seem to open up to other worlds, ...
