When city starts to expand, Tyler Wordsmith\u2019s charming childhood home Bramble begins acting spooky. Devastated over his best friend moving away, Tyler finds himself in his father\u2019s library where a tussle with a thief over his father\u2019s old maps sends him into a place called Whimsey. A sly ogre; ugly trolls; and a grumpy ruckus who just wants to take a nap make for an endearing supporting cast, while Tyler with his curiosity and courage easily win readers\u2019 hearts. Clarke\u2019s writing gives the story the sweetly exotic flavor of a traditional fairytale, and the overarching themes of friendship, courage, and importance of words win the day here. The lavish, personality-laden, full color illustrations are an absolute treat to eyes. This finely written, wholly imaginative fantasy romp should have easy appeal for both elementary and middle grade readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note: This title is free on Kindle Unlimited.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The Door Into Whimsy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">By H.F.
