The Silver Door by Emily Rodda is finally here and it is definitely going to have you on the edge of your seat!

Rye thinks his other missing brother Sholto has chosen the Silver door. Rye bravely enters the dangerous world behind the Silver Door with his brother Dirk and the feisty Sonia. This desolate wasteland of the Saltings and the Scour is where desperate people live including “Bones” the skeleton man. While trying to find both Sholto and the source of the frightening Skimmers, Rye also discovers more about the powers of the gifts he carries in his small brown bag – the snail shell, the feather and the tiny golden key.

The action packed end of the book reveals the true enemy of Weld and sets the scene for the third and final book The Wooden Door.

The Golden Door is the first book in The Three Doors Trilogy by Emily Rodda

It is exciting to see a new fantasy quest series from Emily Rodda. The Golden Door is filled with adventure, mystery, magic, amazing worlds and some rather terrifying creatures… I could not put this book down!

The Warden calls for Volunteers to find and destroy the Enemy who is sending the invaders. The heroes of Weld answer the call one by one, never to return. Rye is officially too young to go, but his brothers are among the lost, and he must find them.

Which of the three doors will Rye choose to open?

Will Rye be able to find his missing brothers?

Can Rye find the evil power controlling the vicious skiffers that terrorise his home of Weld?

Who is the fiesty girl Sonia who befriends Rye?
