100 Cupboards (100 Cupboards, #1)

by N. D. Wilson

Readers who love Percy Jackson, the Unwanteds, and Beyonders will discover that 100 cupboards mean 100 opportunities for adventure! The bestselling and highly acclaimed 100 Cupboards series starts here.
 
What dangers are locked behind the cupboard doors? Henry isn’t brave, but when he hears a thumping and scratching on the other side of his bedroom wall, he can’t ignore it. He scrapes off the plaster and discovers mysterious doors—cupboards of all different shapes and sizes. Through one he sees a glowing room and a man strolling back and forth. Through another he sees only darkness and feels the cold sense that something isn’t right. When his cousin Henrietta boldly travels into the worlds beyond the cupboards, it’s up to Henry to follow her. Now that he’s opened the doors, can he keep the evil inside from coming through?
 
“A must-read series.” —The Washington Post

First off I was annoyed the childs name was the same as the town. I don't know why it bothered me so much but it did. The story had great potential but fell flat. Everything seemed so nonchalant and vague at times. This first book should have been the set up to the worlds in the cupboards and gave you the who, what, where, when and how but it just didn't. I will eventually read the second book but as of right now im not sure if the second book will give me anything more and im not sure im willing find out.

If i think you would like it you might, I did but i just felt like it was missing something.
