ErinR-CMS __The Door in the Wall__ by Marguerite De Angeli is an adventurous story of a teenage boy in the Middle Ages whose dream is to become a knight, but what will he do when he becomes ill and loses the use of his legs? What will happen when his parents have to leave? Within the town the Bubonic Plague is spread and many are killed. Through the town he travels to a castle, but when a war is started, what will happen to Robin? Even though the book was okay, it was slightly confusing at times because the author did a poor job of describing what was going on. Reading this book was boring, and I didn't enjoy it very much, but it was alright and would have meaning to many people. Rating this book is difficult, but I would probably give it one or two out of five stars. I didn’t think the title was very appropriate, and it was boring and lacked adventure and suspense. 1199998216

__The Door in the Wall__ is an interesting book set in the middle ages about a boy named Robin. Robin is the son of nobility, and therefore, he is expected to become a knight. While his parents are away tending to the king and queen, Robin is expected to travel to Sir Peter’s castle to train to become a knight. Unfortunately, Robin loses the use of his legs due to an illness, but since his parents are away, Robin has to proceed to Sir Peter’s castle despite his disability. This book tells about a courageous boy who goes on a long journey to become a knight and make his parents proud. The book is inspiring to all crippled children because Robin meets his goals even though he can't walk, and it's a great story besides. The author did a fantastic job of describing the scenery. At some points in the book I felt like I was there! This is a little bit of a flawed book, though. The title is misleading. “The Door in the Wall” would be better suited for a book about secret passageways. Also, the book lacked action and adventure. It was a bit boring at times, but overall it was worth reading. I give this book two stars out of five. 1199809908

__A Door in the Wall__ is a story of recovery. It’s about a young boy named Robin, who is stripped of his ability to walk. At first, his world seems to be in total disarray, not being able to become the knight his father expects, and not being able to move from his bed. During all of this, the Bubonic Plague is spreading throughout Europe, and barbarians are invading and raiding towns and homes. Robin is distraught, having run off the housekeeper, he is all alone. Finding Robin, a kind monk relocates him to a monastery. At the monastery he slowly recuperates, and he discovers other talents he has. Later, his castle home is under siege of barbarians, setting Robin out on a journey to contact reinforcements. Can Robin actually accomplish anything--a simple, humble, crippled boy?

An action story for those faint of heart, a simple story for those extremely bored or trying to get a good grade, an inspirational story for those easily inspired. This book is the right book for those who want to read it or have to, but I don’t recommend this for those who have a choice, are easily confused, or easily bored. Providing no comedic relief, this book drags you along, even if you don’t like being dragged around. Action, adventure, tragedy, the most excitement the weak hearted can handle: __A Door in the Wall__.

__**The Door In The Wall**__ by Marguerite De Angeli is a book about a boy named Robin who is pressured to become a knight by his parents, but is unable to fulfill that desire due to a sudden illness. This illness causes him to lose most of the use of his legs and shatters his dreams to become a knight. Both his mom and dad leave - his mom to help the Queen and his dad to help the war effort. While away, his father sends a letter to Robin asking him to trek to Sir Peter's castle to be looked over. While at the castle, they are attacked and Robin becomes a hero by sneaking out the back door of the castle, getting help, and saving the day. Even though he is crippled, he saves the day and is a hero.

I thought that the **__Door In The Wall__** was an overall good and entertaining story. The end was VERY exciting and action-packed. However, I had a hard time keeping up with the changing plot. They were always going to a new place, a new setting with different people. It was kind of boring to me and did not do a good job of keeping my attention. The title did not really describe the book, either. This is just my opinion, though. If you love the Middle Ages, try this book out!
