100 Cupboards (100 Cupboards #1) 
Henry scrapes the plaster off the wall and discovers doors—ninety-nine cupboards of all different sizes and shapes. Through one he can hear the sound of falling rain. Through another he sees a glowing room—with a man strolling back and forth! Henry and his cousin Henrietta soon understand that these are not just cupboards. They are, in fact, portals to other worlds.
100 Cupboards is the first book of a new fantasy adventure, written in the best world-hopping tradition and reinvented in N.D Wilson's own inimitable style.
it was good Hannah and Brandon's theory was correct i liked ashtown more
The first of a trilogy. Set in Kansas, this is a story of a young boy who discovers numerous worlds behind cupboard doors in an attic. (This and other plot elements are reminiscent of Narnia, The Wizard of Oz, and The Indian in the Cupboards books.) No one goes through the cupboards until about halfway through the book. Gets creepy with the witch, around whom the final conflict (in this book) revolves.Kansas might be home to Etzanoa (see here too).Here is a deleted scene, as it were, originally

I read this book before and it was amazing. I just finished listening to the audiobook and it was just as good as I remembered. Cant wait to read the next book
This book was not as good as I expected,but still good. Near the end it got creepy.But the creepyness made it more interesting.That is why I am rating it 3 stars.
By the time I finished this book, I was getting the feeling that it had been written specifically to appeal to me. I mean, a wall full of hidden cupboards in a cool old house (MAGIC hidden cupboards)... Oz homages... Narnia vibes... suspense... cats... and BASEBALL, even. If I didn't know any better, I'd say N.D. Wilson wrote the whole thing with a recipe card in front of him ("How to make the perfect book for Lizzy"). Can't wait to get my hands on the next one.
Wow! I really loved this book. Deliciously creepy elements blend with terrific characterization, poetic prose and exciting plot. Will update more in a bit! {Edit}Now to add a bit more. I like how the author has taken classic fantasy tropes, "the lost Special One" "the Hidden World" "the Wise Fool" and blended them in new ways. I particularly like how Henry finds the world away from the smothering overprotective one his parents have created for him just as magical as the actual magical worlds he

Twelve-year-old Henry York is going to sleep one night when he hears a bump on the attic wall above his head. It's an unfamiliar house—Henry is staying with his aunt, uncle, and three cousins—so he tries to ignore it. But the next night he wakes up with bits of plaster in his hair. Two knobs have broken through the wall, and one of them is slowly turning...Henry scrapes the plaster off the wall and discovers doors—ninety-nine cupboards of all different sizes and shapes. Through one he can hear the sound of falling rain. Through another he sees a glowing room—with a man strolling back and forth! Henry and his cousin Henrietta soon understand that these are not just cupboards. They are, in fact, portals to other worlds.
