Review by: Carol Messman on April 11, 2013 : (no rating)
Grandpa's Portal is a quick paced, exciting young adult fantasy story about 4 kids and their grandpa. Grandpa disappears into a miniature world in the woods of his own backyard while on a routine hike with the kids. Unbeknownst to them, he has been training them for years to come and find him. After Grandpa is gone, they have to work together to assemble all the clues he has given to mount their search and bring him home. This story is warm and exciting and leaves lots of room for a sequel later on.
