Thirteen-year-old Tom Goodwin is not happy about moving hundreds of miles away from his best friend, thanks to his dad's new job.

Sure, she's sad because her sister died, and her comments about wanting to disappear through the door are a bit alarming. But the door doesn't exist, Tom tells himself, so he doesn't need to worry about her. Then, to Tom's shock, the door appears, and as he tries to keep Lata from going in, he is pushed through as well. On the other side, they find themselves in the exact same school hallway . . . except in this world, they don't exist.
