The Three Doors Trilogy

Hello Books lover 

 This week is all about fiction books, such as quests and imaginary/mythical creatures. If you love books as The Hobbit or Lord of the Rings or even such as Emily Rodda’s Deltora Quest or Rowan of Rin series. Then you will love this book that Readers library is promoting for you. It is called The Three Doors Trilogy, The Golden Door by EMILY RODDA.

If you enjoy books that lead you into other places and other worlds. Then this book is for you. Here is just a little story outline for you.

Rye lives in a walled city called Weld, on the island of Dorne, with his family. They know very little of what is outside the Wall; only that it is a dangerous world from which they are wise to shelter. However, for several years their city has been besieged in summer by skimmers: savage, bat-like creatures that fly in hordes over the Wall from somewhere outside Weld, looking for human and animal prey. The Warden of Weld offers a large reward to any young man who can find and defeat the Enemy sending the skimmers. Rye is not old enough to volunteer. Little does he know that a very strange series of events will force his hand? He will have to lie about his age, and choose one of Weld’s three secret magic doors to go through. He will have to put up with a companion he didn’t bargain for. He will be flung into a fantastic and dangerous adventure in the quest. And he will learn that nothing he has believed, about his world, or about himself, is the truth.

The themes of The Golden Door include quest, journey, friendship, trust, family ties and self-confidence. This book is all about the ideas that our choices lead us along different paths in life. After all many old legends and fairy tales are based on the theme of choice.

The Golden Door is a fantasy novel in chapter form. The language is at a level aimed at readers 8-12, and most of the characters speak in the formal, old-fashioned way often associated with fantasy.
