The Secret Door follows the beloved phonetic chapter book series written and illustrated by Shelley Davidow.
In this second chapter book, we return to the world of nine-year-old Mina, her sister Jo, and their neighbour Tim, whose extraordinary pet snake, Jake, is never far from the action. When a mysterious sound in the night leads Mina on an unexpected adventure, she discovers a secret that takes her far beyond her backyard and into a world she never imagined. Along the way, she and her friends must face danger, make difficult choices, and learn that courage often means stepping through a door, even when you don't know what's on the other side.
A perfect next chapter book for young readers building confidence with vowel patterns, digraphs and multisyllabic words. It focuses on long vowels, diphthongs and the combinations ar, or, er, ir, oo, ou, ow, oi, oy, au, aw and ea.
