BOOK: A door near hear by Quarles

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@TELLURIAN.NET>]

Quarles, Heather._A door near here_,1998 [0-385-32595-9]
This is the heart-wrenching story of four children who are trying to
survive after their mother loses her job for drinking and continues
drinking in her bed, not getting up.   The three older children make
a plan for survival and for the welfare of their younger sister Alisa.
They all lie and try to hide from the rest of the world what is
happening at home.  Alisa writes a letter to CS Lewis to find out if
there is "a door near here" that would lead to Narnia.  She is sure
that Aslan can help them.  This 231 page book is about
alcoholism, survival, and a caring teacher who gets in trouble when
he tries to help the family.
