Críticas:

"An imaginative, edgy fantasy for younger readers. . . . A very enjoyable novel about time travel, magic, and faith in family and friends. Feisty Victoria and humble Elliott will resonate with readers, and Maxwell's powerfully descriptive writing style is a treat."--VOYA, 4Q -- (12/01/2008) "Victoria and Elliot are appealing, well-drawn characters, and many of the terrors they face on their separate journeys are imaginative."-- Booklist -- (11/15/2008) "This intricately plotted fantasy has its roots in the conventions of fantasy writing for children. . . . Give this to fans of Janet Taylor Lisle, J.K. Rowling and Franny Billingsley, or use it as an introduction to the classics of the genre." -Kirkus Reviews (9/15/08)-- (09/15/2008) "The Faerie Door is a little bit Narnia, a little bit Lord of the Rings and altogether charming."--Sacramento Book Review

Reseña del editor:

Long ago the Faerie Queen created portals between our world and hers, so that children could summon help from faeries whenever the need arose. But a wicked entity called the Shadow Knight is endeavouring to control the doors between the two worlds, and only evil can get through. It falls to two imaginative eleven-year-olds Victoria Deveny, from 1890 Britain, and Elliot Good, from 1966 America - to thwart his plan.The Faerie Queen dispatches the youths on separate quests to retrieve orbs of power that will ultimately defeat the Shadow Knight. Their bravery and friendship are tested as the children travel to fantastic realms and face life threatening dangers - from dragons to flying pirate ships to a wicked sorceress queen - before they're reunited to confront the dreaded Shadow Knight.
