The Portal Seekers is a thrilling middle-grade adventure series that follows Marc, Sophie, and Danny Williams—three siblings who discover a mysterious cave in the woods behind their new house. When their dog Scout leads them through a shimmering portal, they tumble into the Nexus, a cosmic crossroads containing thousands of doors to impossible worlds. But there’s a terrifying catch: with each door they open searching for home, the Nexus steals their memories as payment, while the sinister Void Hunters—creatures that feed on forgotten things—stalk them through dimensions.

From a kingdom where everything moves backward to a world where words come alive, from sky pirates battling in flying ships to museums that turn children into exhibits, the siblings must hold onto each other and their fading memories of home before they forget who they are entirely. Racing against time to make it back for their mother’s birthday, they discover that sometimes the only way home is to remember what home truly means—even when you can’t remember your own last name. Perfect for fans of A Wrinkle in Time, Coraline, and Percy Jackson, this ten-book series combines heart-pounding adventure with profound themes about family, identity, and the memories that make us who we are.

Book 1: The Cave of Infinite Doors

Marc Williams has calculated exactly how far his family moved from their old house: 847 miles. But when their dog Scout races into a mysterious cave behind their new home, Marc and his siblings Sophie and Danny are about to travel much, much farther than that.

Through a shimmering portal lies the Nexus—a vast chamber filled with thousands of doors to impossible worlds. The door home? It sealed behind them. Now they’re trapped in a cosmic maze where each door they open leads somewhere extraordinary and terrifying: a world where everything happens backward, a kingdom where words fly like birds and grammar wars rage, a realm of sky pirates and storm magic.

But the Nexus demands a price for passage—their memories. With each door, the siblings forget more: first Mom’s favorite drink, then the kind of birthday cake she wanted, then eventually… was her name Mom or was that just a word? And they’re not alone. The Void Hunters, shadows that feed on forgotten things, are following them, growing stronger as the children grow emptier.

With only their dog Scout (who remembers everything), three gross pre-digested fruit snacks, and a riddle-speaking Portal Keeper named Whisk to help them, the Williams children must find their way home before they forget why home matters—or worse, before they forget each other entirely.

Tomorrow is Mom’s birthday. If they can just remember that. If they can just remember her. If they can just remember…

The first book in an unforgettable ten-book series about memory, family, and finding your way home when you’ve forgotten where—and who—you are.
