Synopsis

Eleven-year-old Eli has always suspected there might be more to the world than what people can see. When he discovers a mysterious door hidden behind an ordinary mirror, he steps into the Kingdom of Almost, a strange and magical place where appearances cannot always be trusted and fear has a way of making the unreal seem very real.

As Eli explores this remarkable world, he encounters puzzling rules, unexpected companions, and challenges that force him to question what he believes about himself and others. The deeper he travels, the more he begins to understand that the greatest obstacles are not monsters, walls, or locked doors, but the judgments and fears we carry within us.

Written for young readers but filled with ideas adults will recognize, The Door Behind the Mirror is an adventure about courage, perception, forgiveness, and discovering that we may be far more than the frightened image we sometimes see reflected back at us. Sometimes the greatest adventure begins when we dare to look beyond the mirror, and discover what truly lies beyond.
