Beyond the Door, the first in the Time Out of Time duet from Maureen Doyle McQue
rry, weaves a compelling coming-of-age story with fantasy and mythology. With hi
s love of learning and the game of Scrabble, Timothy James feels like the only p
erson who understands him is his older sister, Sarah, and he's fairly certain no
thing interesting will ever happen to him. But one night, while his parents and
sister are away, the door opens, and mythical creatures appear in his own living
room! Soon, a mystery of unparalleled proportions begins to unfold, revealing a
n age-old battle of Light against Dark, and Timothy must embark on a quest to pr
event the Dark from controlling the future and changing the past. But he can't c
omplete the quest alone. Timothy has to team up with his sister and the school b
ully, Jessica, to face an ancient evil, and in the process, this unlikely trio d
iscover they are each more than meets the eye.
