Well worth reading

My granddaughter had to read this book for school and we both read it. It was a great science fiction story, but also a great story about a 12/14 year old's relations and interactions with their friends, their parents and authorities in their community. A very enjoyable read.

The Door in the Lake

The Door in the LakeA review by Therese Brown I read a book called The Door in the Lake. I really liked it because I like reading about science fiction. The book was about a boy named Joey and he went to this camp with his friend and his dad. When he had to go to the bathroom, he got up and started walking through the woods to the latrine. Once he got there, he did his business and started walking back. The next thing he could remember was being at his home. It was 2 years later and he was the same height, weight, level of intelligence, and age. Now his little brother Kevin, was a year older than he was. He tried to seek help from a guy that was in collage. His girlfriend worked at the hospital that Joey was at when the doctor found a spot in his brain. I really liked this book and I am not going to tell you the end but if you want to find out what happened, you can read this book. I would suggest this book to anyone who likes books about aliens or in general, science fiction.

The Door in the Lake - Nancy Butts

Outstanding book for 10 and up. Great vocabulary usage. Nice use of important science concepts. Very interesting, holds interest of reader. Flowing sentences. Thought provoking book. Makes one wonder about possibilities. Highly recommended. Perfect for parents to read along with and get reports chapter by chapter on what is going on.

An all around GREAT book. Wonderful for all ages!!!

This is a great book. I read it, and it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole book through. My Mom read it, and she even liked it! This book is great for all ages, if you haven't already read it, READ IT NOW!!!

This was the best book I have EVER read!!!!

This book is so realistic and it relates to me in so many ways!!!! My brothers name is David (the doctors son), my aunts name is Nancy (the author), and my cousin had a dog named Magnum too. This was also good because it was so mysterious, Nancy Butts is one of the greatest authors ever!! Also, the book keeps you wondering if Joeys just going to croak or not. But I'm not telling what happens so read it yourself!!! Buy this book.
