Alex, the Dog and the Unopenable Door has the kind of title that makes you pick up a book to see what it is about – and this book is definitely a bit quirky! Alex’s father – a famous explorer – has escaped from hospital and disappeared. Alex sets out to find him, and heads into adventure in the Forbidden Lands. I loved the silliness in this book and the unpredictability – it was absolutely impossible to guess what would happen next.
The blurb on the back of the library copy says…
‘Mmm,’ Alex said, ‘You’re male, maybe… A cross-breed. Part terrier. And part… Alsation?’
The dog looked at him. Alex couldn’t shake the feeling that it was eyeing him with suspicion.
Join Alex and his very surprising dog on an epic, silly adventure to discover what lies at the heart of the Forbidden Lands…
