The Mystery of the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks
3.0
I've read this book a ton, don't remember how many times as a youth.
Update for November 2020: 5 stars
As a kid this book was boring. Now as an adult it's really good. Especially the clever twists at the end.
I love how this book ties up all the loose ends and explains things. The only thing it doesn't explain is, why does the chest work when there was no magic involved in creating that like the cupboard.
I didn't realize there was.
I don't understand now Jessica was able to make herself into a little toy and come back if she died in real life.
Even though, I hate Patrick and think he's an idiot, sometimes he thinks of important things that Omri is oblivious to.
I didn't know his dad found out at the end.
