Doors are opened for the young people in
the six stories in this book. The only
trouble is, those doors lead to the
unknown... Take Tommy and Eleanor, whose
morning school bus ride becomes an
invitation to eternity. Or Lisa, biking
through a thunderstorm to ask the
perfect twin of Jimi Hendrix to visit
her dying aunt. And then there is Isaac,
whose chances of winning the statewide
cross-country meet may depend on a
trainer who isn't exactly "all here."

Reviews
"If there is life after death, or
aliens, or strange powers, this is their
ideal form: a comfort and blessing to
the living. Charming stories, these have
the spooky premises to grab horror fans,
and will hold them with the promise of
something better than blood and gore." —Kirkus
Reviews
"Readers too young for Stephen King will
find satisfaction in these six tales in
which the encounters with the unknown
are beneficent yet still mildly eerie." —Booklist
