In this book, Jason, Julia, who are twins, and Rick adventure all over their town of Kilmore Cove in England. They are on an adventure to find the doors and keys to time, before Oblivia Newton, who is a rich and greedy, finds them first. It is set in a recent time period, and the kids track one door to an old clock-makers house, which Oblivia Newton is destroying in hopes to find the door, which if opened with a key and stepped through will bring you back to ancient times. In the first book, the kids found one of the numerous doors, and ended up in Egypt.
One thing I enjoyed about the author's writing was that he writes descriptively, which makes you want to keep reading. This book is also an adventure book, which is one of my favorite genres, so it was a page-turner. Another think I liked about the story was how it switched perspectives throughout the story from the kids to Oblivia Newton. Besides how the author is descriptive, I like how his writing forms each character, and shows you what each character is like.
One thing, and probably the only thing, I didn't like about this book was Oblivia Newton, who is such a rude person, and who always gets her way just because she's rich. The only other thing I didn't like was that the book ended.
I would recommend this book to kids in their early to mid-teens who like adventure, and suspense, as well as those same kids who like mystery.
