Don’t Open the Red Door

A Mystery-Fantasy Adventure for Brave Young Dreamers When eleven-year-old Clara moves into a house with seventeen doors, one rule stands above all: "Don't open the red door." But Clara is curious. And when the red door whispers her name one night, she does the one thing she's not supposed to—she opens it. On the other side isn't a closet, but a dreamlike world made of glowing threads, strange trials, and forgotten truths. As Clara journeys deeper through a forest of impossible trees, talking reflections, and memories made real, she must face her fears, her doubts, and the parts of herself she never dared to speak aloud. Each step forward reveals another thread to claim, another truth to unlock. But to return home, Clara must learn the most powerful lesson of all: sometimes the scariest doors are the ones that open us. Perfect for fans of Coraline, The Land of Stories, and pages that whisper, Don't Open the Red Door is a heartfelt, magical adventure about growing up, choosing truth, and writing your own story — one thread at a time. ?
