Seventh Dimension – The Door: A Young Adult Fantasy by Lorilyn Roberts is a young adult fantasy novel about the adventures of Shale Snyder. Bullied at school and a product of a broken family, she finds herself in an unusual situation when she is transported to a garden paradise. She meets a donkey and a rabbit there who inform her that she is in the garden of the king himself. There is trouble in the garden, however, and Shale escapes to the seventh dimension together with a dog. More adventures await her in the amazing place where she finds herself. And in facing them, she is forced to look inside her heart. Hungry for love, will she finally find it here?
What is surprising about this young adult fantasy book is that, although it is a fantasy story, it effectively addresses the issues that confront young people today. Shale Snyder, the main character in the story, personifies many of the problematic young people in our present society. This makes her a real person to me. Because of her background, she longs for real love, and she looks for it subconsciously. The talking animals make this story a fable, and I can imagine that it will be an entertaining read for young people.
In Seventh Dimension – The Door, I believe the author, Lorilyn Roberts, aims to offer young and rejected children some hope that they will find what they are looking for someday, and hints at where to find it. The reader also receives the bonus of experiencing a very entertaining book that is sure to tickle their imagination. There is no doubt that this book is a must-read for people of all ages.
