Behind The Bookcase

 

by Mark Steensland, 2012

 

Children's Mystery / Fantasy

 

Sarah and her family move into late Grandma Winnie's house in order to sort out and sell. When Sarah discovers a mysterious bookcase which leads to a different realm called Scotopia, she begins her adventure. It involves a talking cat and strange creatures living there. Dangers lurk and scary things may happen without her parents to turn to and save her or younger brother Billy.

 

Good story. I enjoyed it from the beginning. I did worry about Sarah not being able to do the right thing and save the day. Her determination pulled through quite well despite the weirdness. That's why I liked it.

 

Kelly Murphy is an excellent illustrator. I loved the pencilled sketches with brilliant detail.

 

I rate 5 out of 5.

Penny, did you make sure about the publishing rights for that image?

Whenever you add a photo/image to your work there's a notice which says you must make sure you have permission to use the image. If not, Tony gets sued!
