I enjoyed this book...picked a brand-new copy up from the IMCPL Book Sale for $1.00. I would have liked it even better if there had still been copies for sale the next weekend. I only bought one so I could read it before deciding whether to buy some as gifts for my 4th grade students.

Jason dan Julia, sepasang kembar anak dari pasangan Covenant pindah dari kota besar ke daerah pesisir pantai Kilmore Cove. Rumah Argo Manor yang mereka tinggali melengkapi keunikan dari kota Kilmore Cove. Rumah yang bertengger di tebing tinggi menghadap laut, deretan pepohonan diselingi bunga beraneka warna, terkesan sangat eksotis. Bagian dalamnya lain lagi, vas dari Mesir, meja dari Venesia, permadani Persia yang entah bagaimana terlihat serasi dan memberi karakter yang kuat di Argo Manor.

My only complaint with this book was that it ended just when the action got going!
Jason and Julia move from London to a sleepy little seaside town in England. They move into Argo Manor, a house surrounded by mystery. Right away, they notice that the house is a little different, and along with their friend Rick begin exploring. They stumble across (or rather slide down a cliff to) a small box containing some clay balls and a message written in a strange language. After decoding the message, other...more

First off, the book is marketed as being Ulysses Moore, but is actually written by someone from Italy and has been translated to English. That being said, I think there were some things lost in the translation.
Our three main characters, twins Jason and Julia and their friend Rick, are fun to follow and each of them offers something different. Julia constant sarcasm and joking keeps the mood light, but Rick irked me a bit. The twins are 11 and Rick is 12, but, at times, their dialogue and knowled...more

The Door to Time doesn't have an author (Weird!). Jason and Julia, both eleven, move from busy London to an almost empty town on the coast of England. Although they are twins, they couldn't be more different. Jason is a very observant dreamer, while Julia is athletic and adventurous. And the enormous house they move into seems to have some secrets. In this book, Jason and Julia explore Argo Manor (the house), question Ulysses Moore (the former owner), and discover the world through a single door...more
I got this from the library for my son, then started reading it myself when I was stuck without another book, and finished it the next day - that's a great part of kids' books, you can read them so fast! It was pretty fun, and I loved the illustrations. The book appears to have been translated from Italian, so there are points where it is a little stilted, but altogether it flows well and is interesting and well-written. It's obvious that it's part of a series - you are constantly reminded that...more
Just when the story got going it was over and “to be continued.” I don’t mind a cliffhanger in a book or tv series, but this book was left very unfinished. It was a good attempt and may get kids more interested in learning about Greek mythology and ancient languages. Some parts of the ancient language clues may be a bit over the heads of eleven year old readers. It was reminiscent of Harry Potter, The Secret Garden, and you could say it had some National Treasure/Da Vinci Code elements in it too...more

Kitap fuarından kitap almak için almış olduğumu itiraf etmeliyim. Ama kendine çekiyor. Kitap fuarındaki adamın dediği gibi "Memnun olmadım diye getiren olmadı." Neyse. Jason'ın bir çekiciliği var. 11 yaşında, sarışın, hayaletlere inanan, şapşal bir çocuk ama çok sevdiriyor kendini. Julia'yı sevmeyen de olabilir ama herkes piyasada onun gibi kız karakterin az olduğunu kabullenmeli. Rick ise... Kelimeler yetersiz. Sinirli bir tarafı var ve o Rick biraz korkunç ama o kadar mantıklı ve hayalperest k...more

This book ended too abruptly. I would think that once they open the door to time there should be an adventure to be read, but instead, the door is opened and Bam the book is over. So I will be reading the next book, but if it ends as another cliffhanger I am going to petition the publisher to rename the books Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, etc. instead of Book 1, 2, 3... Because really there should be an adventure in the story that has to do with the title. Or they should rename the books. The first on...more

I like this book because there is a lot of mystery in it. It is about sister and brother and their friend trying to find out the mystery of the house that they just moved in. They face problem and a lot of them they have to thing their way out. They try to find out the mystery of Ulysses Moore. there is some parts that it gets a little scary but the whole time i was reading the book i could not but it down. I recommend you to read this book if you like mystery books and I promise you that you wi...more

Hari itu adalah hari ulang tahun saya. Ada dua buku yang baru saya pinjam dari perpustakaan, salah satunya buku ini. Saat merapikan tas dan bersiap-siap pulang, ternyata saya baru tersadar tidak bisa pulang saat itu juga, karena kabel rol yang cocok untuk menyetrum kembali laptop saya yang baterainya menipis, sedang dipinjam untuk rapat SMA yang baru akan dimulai di kelas sebelah.

fans of adventurous puzzle and journey children's books
This book wasn't anything groundbreaking, and the whole of it felt like the lead up to what the series is really about, but it was adventurous, and followed the puzzle and journey format that made up what I liked about The DaVinci Code.

I loved this book! It was a fast-paced good read, great for summer-time or weekends. Plus, it is the first in a series so it is easy for kids to keep on reading! 11 year old twins Julia and Jason move into Argo Manor with their parents; an old masion on the English Sea Shore. (yes, i seem to be on a british kick, see my last review...) Is it haunted? Is there a treasure waiting to be found? What's up with the caretaker? There are so many cool questions and possibilities that it is hard to put it...more
Eleven year old twins Jason and Julia have moved from London to an old mansion on the English coast. Jason loves their new house. He has been researching the paranormal and is sure that their new home is haunted. Julia would rather be shopping at the mall. They have only made one friend in their new town. For years,Rick has been fascinated with the old mansion that his new friends live in. He has never had an opportunity to go inside until he is invited to visit while the twin’s parents return t...more
We all decided we liked this book. It is a good combination of mystery and fantasy. The characters are believable and it was exciting to follow them in their quest to solve coded messages and the mystery of Argo Manor. We were all disappointed with the ending of this book. It is the first book in a series so we know there is supposed to be more to the story, but Jason, Julia and Rick had just succeeded in figuring out how to use the ship and it was the end of the book.
Eleven year old twins Jason and Julia have just moved into a new home and invite a friend over to explore. After nearly falling off of a cliff, Jason finds a box in a hole in the side of the cliff. This turns out to be the first of many clues that the children solve in hopes of finding a treasure. What they find is a mysterious boat the magically transports them to Ancient Egypt. This is a quick read that would have appeal to young boys who enjoyed the 39 Clues series.
With this book, I made it to 12,000 pages - and with a week to spare!
In this book, three kids explore a mansion with a history, solve puzzles, and do a little time travel. Translated from the Italian, and the first in a series, I think. I thought this book was fine, but other series have done this kind of thing just as well (ie. Magic Treehouse for younger kids). Daniel was not interested in taking the plunge... I may try to change his mind.

Este libro lo leí por casualidad.
Estaba aburrida en la casa de mi tía (que le compra una gran cantidad de libros a mi primo y no se molesta en leerlos) y me puse a revisar bolsas y eso, y entonces me encontré este libro. Por la portada no me llamaba mucho la atención, pero cuando leí las primeras páginas simplemente me atrapó. Me gustó mucho la historia y hasta quedé con ganas de leer los otros.

Very interesting combination of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" and "Over Sea, Under Stone" in style and atmosphere, plus it had a bunch of riddles to solve and codes to break, which always fascinates me. Obviously aimed at a much younger audience, but it still had enough going for it to keep an older reader like me entertained ;)
Unfortunately it ends with a cliff-hanger (a pet-peeve of mine), and feels more like a part of a longer book, or an introduction/prequel than a book that's meant...more
