Have you ever had a day when everything is normal, but something just feels… off?
For Ria, from Ria and the Domino Door by Justin Plato, an ordinary school day turns into something she never imagined, leading her into a world that seems straight out of a storybook.
In the book, Ria wakes up like any other day, dreading going to school. But things take a strange turn when she starts seeing and feeling things that aren’t normal.
It all begins when she dreams about a dark hallway and a mysterious door covered in strange carvings. The door seems ancient, almost magical, and as she tries to open it, she hears voices telling her not to. When she wakes up, she thinks it was just a strange nightmare, but the line between dream and reality begins to blur as the day goes on.
At school, Ria tries to shake off the weird feeling. But then, odd things start happening. During gym class, a dodgeball flies toward her face, and instead of dodging or catching it, the ball seems to move on its own, missing her by an inch. Her classmates cheer, thinking it is just luck, but Ria knows something strange is happening.
That’s when she starts to notice even more unusual things. She feels a breeze when no one else does, and sometimes, objects move without anyone touching them. She brushes it off, telling herself it’s her imagination.
Then, Ria meets a boy named Eric, who has an unusual look in his eyes and seems to know more than he lets on. And then there’s Mr. Nickel, a mysterious man who talks to Ria’s little brother, Julian, about “energy.” Ria doesn’t understand what he means, but she can tell that it isn’t good, whatever it is.
