100 Cupboards
Nathan D. Wilson
- Reading
- Read alongside the child, or agree to pause after the cupboard discoveries and the hundredth portal. Ask which worlds feel safe or unsafe, and let the reader describe the level of suspense before continuing.
- Themes
- Curiosity and discovery: Henry discovers hidden cupboards and, with his cousin Henrietta, opens portals into other realities. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Facing the unknown: The cupboards lead to worlds described as both benign and dangerous, with possible threats from evildoers. The premise creates a clear contrast between wonder and danger, while the book’s stance on how characters should respond remains unspecified.
- Worth knowing
- The book includes suspense, dangerous alternate worlds and evildoers who may threaten the characters.
