Publisher's summary

Twelve-year-old Henry York wakes up one night to find bits of plaster in his hair. Two knobs have broken through the wall above his bed and one of them is slowly turning. Henry scrapes the plaster off the wall and discovers cupboards of all different sizes and shapes. Through one he can hear the sound of falling rain. Through another he sees a glowing room with a man pacing back and forth! Henry soon understands that these are not just cupboards, but portals to other worlds.

100 Cupboards is the first book of a new fantasy adventure, written in the best world-hopping tradition and reinvented in N. D. Wilson's inimitable style.

good stuff

couldn't quit this one. I can't wait for the sequel, which, considering the ending, is probably coming.

100 Cupboards

The story was really good. I wish we would have paid a bit better attention to it. We usually listen in the car so we didn't just sit and listen all the way through. It is the kind of book that you would open and read all the way through.

The good kind of creepy

My husband, 12 y.o. daughter, and I listened to this together and all got into it. When it came down to the last few chapters we had to finish it or my daughter could not have gone to bed. We’ll be coming back to the cupboards for more!

The Curious Start to a Brilliant Tale!

N. D. Wilson is a wonderful author. He both intrigues and spell binds his readers with the expertly crafted words he uses. Russell Wilson narrated this Audible very well, and gave life to the words on the page. Unfortunately the book starts very plainly, I almost didn't want to listen further. However after the first few minutes I became more interested. I was also quite confused by all of the names that included "Henry". There is the town Henry, the protagonist Henry, and his cousin Henrietta. After I little while of listening though I understood very well. The story doesn't have much action, but does have plenty of magical mystery. 100 Cupboards it a story that makes me feel as if I could stumble upon a few magic cupboards myself. It also warns me to be very careful of what comes through them.

As a final note, N.D. Wilson posted a while ago about pitching ideas for a movie, based on one of his books. He did not say which. I do not think this book would make a good movie. It might if combined with the others in it's series, but not alone. I do believe that the Ashtown Burials would be a magnificent addition to the movie world and to your Audible Library.
