What would you do if 19 girls named, Katherine, dumped you?

Hey I’m Colin and apparently this happened to me.  I hear Katherine IXX say we are the problem.  Head in my hands I head upstairs to think.  I find my parents in my room they must be concerned.  I tell them I need some time alone to think.

Then my best friend Hassan finds out that Katherine broke up with me he comes to my room and tries to help me feel better.  He thinks I’m a genius even though I’m really a child prodigy.  Hassan then tells me we’re going on a road trip.  I know he’s trying to help me forget the nineteenth Katherine the nineteenth, but I didn’t feel like going on a road trip.

Imagine having to take care of a house, when its one door, leads to hundreds of rooms. Imagine this door can go through time. Imagine never going through the same door twice. Charmain, who is an average book-loving girl, is forced into this strange predicament.

In House of Many Ways, Charmain, instead of getting a relaxed stay, meets a stray dog, who is unusually helpful, and a gawky apprentice Wizard. Together they roam the house, and find out that Charmain’s uncle, who happens to be a wizard, has more trouble than meets the eye. Then Charmain, who isn't what I'd call brave, turns out to be the only one who can help.  She has to face a monster who can plant eggs in people without noticing. Eventually they will die. She's up against a lot and she'll have to become as brave as the heroes in her books.
