Summary: The Door in the Lake - Nancy Butts
Review: One early morning a young boy wanders into a convenience store looking lost disoriented. Suspicious, the store clerk follows the boy to the refrigerated section where the boy grabs a carton of milk and immediately collapses. Rushing over to see what happened, the clerk is shocked to see that the boy lying on the floor has the same face as the boy on the milk carton.

Joey wakes up in the hospital several days later having no idea what has happened. All he remembers is being on a camping trip with his parents. He does not remember collapsing in the convenience store. He does not remember being taken to the hospital. He also does not remember disappearing two years ago. Joey's disappearance is not the only unexplainable thing. Why hasn't Joey aged in two years? Why is wearing the same clothes he was wearing when he disappeared? Why does he still have the sunburn he got the day before he vanished?

This novel straddles the border between mystery and sci-fi. As such it is a good suggestion for both lovers of those two genres, as well as readers who normally do not read those genres. Recommended...

Summary: The Door in the Lake
Review: The book is about a 12 year old kid named Joey. Joey and his family go on a vacation near a lake. One night in his room before he went to sleep, he heard voices in his head. The voice said,"There's a door in the lake!" It repeated in his head until the sun came up. Joey was curious about this unusual thing in the water. It was really colorful. Joey gets abducted in a blink of an eye. When he opens his eyes, he realizes that he was abducted by aliens. I'm not really a sci-fi fan but this book was ok. I learned more about aliens in this book. If you're a sci-fi fan, it's your book.

Review: The Door in the Lake

A review by Therese Brown

I read a book called The Door in the Lake. I really liked it because I like reading about science fiction. The book was about a boy named Joey and he went to this camp with his friend and his dad. When he had to go to the bathroom, he got up and started walking through the woods to the latrine. Once he got there, he did his business and started walking back. The next thing he could remember was being at his home. It was 2 years later and he was the same height, weight, level of intelligence, and age. Now his little brother Kevin, was a year older than he was. He tried to seek help from a guy that was in collage. His girlfriend worked at the hospital that Joey was at when the doctor found a spot in his brain. I really liked this book and I am not going to tell you the end but if you want to find out what happened, you can read this book. I would suggest this book to anyone who likes books about aliens or in general, science fiction.

Summary: This was the best book I have EVER read!!!!
Review: This book is so realistic and it relates to me in so many ways!!!! My brothers name is David (the doctors son), my aunts name is Nancy (the author), and my cousin had a dog named Magnum too. This was also good because it was so mysterious, Nancy Butts is one of the greatest authors ever!! Also, the book keeps you wondering if Joeys just going to croak or not. But I'm not telling what happens so read it yourself!!! Buy this book.
