If you like fantasy or Arthurian legend, this would be a good book for parents to read with their children. MERLIN'S DOOR introduces the stories about Arthur and Merlin and Avalon. Many children will want to know more and parents may enjoy filling them in. On its own, the book is a well-written fantasy with solid likable characters.
PURE READING ENJOYMENT!

I absolutely loved this book; it was perhaps the most enjoyable work I have read in a long,long time. We have two wonderful kids as our main characters, Carter and Penny; and we have the mystical enchanter Merlin. What a trio! Carter's great aunt has died and he accompanies his mom to her house to do inventory on her belongings, it is while they are there that Carter and his friend Penny find out Carter's aunt and the rest of his family are not what we could call the 'norm,' and Penny isn't either. Just what has been going on in this house, and what is the secret of this family? Accidentally, the children release Merlin from his tree prison and the race is on for control and power between good and evil, and what a race it is, packed full of magic and mystery. Just who is friend and who is foe? This story has great characters,some you will love, some you will fear; mystery, supernatural, humor and every element that makes for a just down right fun read. I couldn't put it down. There are some books that I wish I could put a flashing red light next to the title so people would know just how great they are; this is one of those books. Young and old alike will devour this work and be sorry when it ends. If you want to just kick off your shoes, relax and have the time of your life in a book; this one is for you. Highly, highly recommended. Shirley Johnson
