Today we are talking about a book called The Door by the Staircase. The Door by the Staircase, by Katherine Marsh, is about Mary, an orphan, who goes to live with a mysterious old lady. They live near Iris, a town full of "magicians," or, according to Madame Z, Mary's new guardian, frauds, and con-artists.Mary meets a friend, Jacob, and soon, they begin to explore the town. But the town is more than one might think. . .
This book is a juvenile fiction book, but that doesn't mean it's not good. In fact, it's wonderful. Also, Marsh bases it on fairy tales. As you know, I believe there is nothing better than fairy tales. By the way, for an article talking about what makes a children's book good, click here. (You may be wondering where that seemingly random comment came from. The article partially talks about why fairy tales are so fantastical.) Also, the fairy tales are Russian fairy tales, which makes them that much more fun. :)
