The Forgotten Door | Alexander Key
2 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
Lost in an unfamiliar world, a traveler searches for understanding At night, Little Jon’s people go out to watch the stars. Mesmerized by a meteor shower, he forgets to watch his step and falls through a moss-covered door to another land: America. He awakes hurt, his memory gone, sure only that he does not belong here. Captured by a hunter, Jon escapes by leaping six feet over a barbed-wire fence. Hungry and alone, he staggers through the darkness and is about to be caught when he is rescued by a kind family known as the Beans. They shelter him, feed him, and teach him about his new home. In return, he will change their lives forever. Although the Beans are kind to Little Jon, the townspeople mistrust the mysterious visitor. But Jon has untold powers, and as he learns to harness them, he will show his newfound friends that they have no reason to be afraid.

The Forgotten Door | Alexander Key
Pickpick

A YA novel before there was YA. I have recorded every book I‘ve read since 1973. This was the first. It has all my themes: social justice, fantasy, parenting and dogs. Not sure why it took me 6 mos to read it.

So my sofa at work broke. I propped it with books from our library. Which led to my discovery of a book from my earliest years: The Forgotten Door. A first edition. I keep a card for every book I have read since 6th grade. Here is this one. Not so important, I know. It just made me think that I have traveled far from home in life and here a relic magically pops up from the road that seemed behind me.
