OK, I read this in less than a day. Very good read, I look forward to the subsequent books, because this books just screams cliffhanger. After reading the first 3 books in the series my thought was nice book. This book continues to develop the story line in greater depth and although I really liked it I find the teenagers to have very adult reactions to many situations. No spoilers here though, read the book & judge for yourself.

Portal through the Pond builds on a fascinating premise, filled with mystery and suspense, and stands alone as an intriguing middle-grade novel, as well as introducing the Empty World Series.

A brief scene set in the past might seem confusing at the start, but soon the characters fall into place, and teenage Christy finds herself trying to decide if her grandmother’s secrets should stay hidden or revealed. Of course, investigating will be much more fun that revealing, and soon the girl is trapped in a strange world with her two friends—they’re just not the friends she might have chosen initially. Everyone wants to go home, but how?

The characters, young old and in-between, are all believable and interesting. A teen trio includes Christy, constantly blaming herself, an eager hearing impaired younger boy, and a singularly miserable child who blames everyone else. Aided and hindered by friends and aliens, racing away and toward the solution, and learning to trust that others might help, both here and there, and that blame will only distract, the youngsters complete an adventure style task and leave readers eager for more.

The plot is intriguing. Unsolved mysteries leave me wanting to read on. And both characters and relationships clearly have more to offer. Occasionally pedantic dialog and exposition might slow things down, but this continent- and world-spanning tale is definitely fun, and the series sounds cool.

Disclosure: I got it on a deal and I offer my honest review.
