This book was a solid 3 stars
The drawings in it was a pleasant surprise and I breezed through this book, finishing it in 2 days.
However...the author very clearly wanted certain things to happen which makes some scenes feel rushed. Sometimes the characters would go on rants, talking out loud while they should be thinking (or atleast; it would've been beter in text, not dialogue)
This was a fun little book though, would very much recomend it as a quick read.
Thank you Netgalley, Frank Lambert and BooksgoSocial for this eArc of Ghost doors,
I really enjoyed reading this first book in the series and I hope to catch up with the rest soon, This is a great introduction to the supernatural universe for a YA book. Quite chaotic and really adventurous. What I loved about it was the characters were really diverse, which again, is great for YA book. The illustrations that have been added are really good so this was a quick fun read for me.
'The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy' meets 'Ghostbusters' is the only way I can describe this book!
This novel follows the story of Zam, a young disabled boy who stops at nothing to save his grandfather from the Underworld. Zam and his friends, some old and some new, face many challenges along the way in this fast-paced adventure.
Absolutely chaotic, adventurous, and wholesome, Ghost Doors by Frank Lambert was a wonderful read!
The characters were so diverse with the most amazing, strong, and brave disabled lead! Incredible representation within this story!
We got to meet so many wonderful characters and creatures from the Underworld who you can not help but love.

If you like the chaos and unpredictability of THGTTG, then you need to check this out or recommend it to a teen bookworm!
The illustrations were a nice little bonus throughout, allowing the reader to gain a clearer picture of this world!
My reason for a three star review is due to the questions I still have! I can not say if these have been answered in the sequels, but they were minor enough questions that could have been tied up in this novel. I also believe that some parts could have been fleshed out a little more for readers, often times some action-packed scenes come and go so soon. Yet, this won't stop me from recommending!
Overall, it was an extremely enjoyable and fun read with some of the most loveable characters! A nice little read to get you out of a slump!
Ghost Doors was a quick read that had a few twist I wasn’t expecting. It was nice to see a different type of hero than the strong and able body that we are use to. I feel like part of the story is missing. I have some many questions about Ackx wife and Zam’s grandmother as well as his parents. More information on the court would have been good.
Ghost Doors is a fast paced fantasy for teenagers, that features a wide range of magical characters. There is action, humor and emotion spread through the novel.
The protagonist, Zam, is a disabled teenage boy who travels to the underworld to rescue his grandfather, along with new and old friends. Illustrations add extra charm to the story, bringing the characters to life.
There was a lot of plot happening, which often felt confusing to keep up with, however the author doesn't linger too long on any element which helped the plot keep moving forward.
The character names are charming and are named by disabled children during writing workshops with the author. I think this is a great book for teenagers, especially but not limited to those who are disabled and would relate to Zam.
