The Forgotten Door is a science fiction novel written by Alexander Key in 1959. The story follows a young alien boy named Jon who is stranded on Earth after his spaceship crash lands. Jon is different from the humans he encounters, possessing extraordinary abilities such as telepathy and the ability to communicate with animals. Despite these gifts, Jon faces challenges as he tries to fit in with human society and evade those who seek to exploit him for his abilities.
As Jon navigates life on Earth, he meets a variety of characters who help him on his journey, including a kind farmer and his family who take him in, a group of boys who become his friends, and a scientist who wants to study him. Through these relationships, Jon learns about love, friendship, and the importance of being true to oneself.
One of the central themes of The Forgotten Door is the idea of identity and belonging. Jon is constantly trying to find his place in the world, struggling to understand his own unique abilities and how they fit in with human society. He grapples with the idea of fitting in and being accepted, as well as the temptation to use his powers for personal gain.
Another theme of the novel is the dangers of scientific curiosity and the exploitation of others for personal gain. The scientist who seeks to study Jon is willing to go to great lengths to uncover the secrets of his abilities, even if it means putting Jon in danger. This serves as a cautionary tale about the ethical implications of scientific discovery and the importance of respecting the autonomy and dignity of others.
Overall, The Forgotten Door is a thought-provoking and heartwarming story about the search for identity and belonging, the power of friendship and love, and the ethical considerations of scientific discovery. Alexander Key's writing is engaging and the characters are well-developed, making this a memorable and enjoyable read.

But when he found them he would have to be careful. Still smart, still thrilling, and, yes, I still want to go to Jon's world. Trouble starts when Mr. This is four years after Eisenhower's "military industrial complex" speech. The forest had chilled, and for the first time he saw the gray mist creeping down from above. Walking was difficult, for both his knees were badly bruised and one ankle pained with every step.
What a strange creature, legless and covered with scales, and with a rattle on the end of its tail! He had dropped his staff, and found that he could hardly stand without it. Sometimes when I'm reading or watching a great movie, I get sucked into the story and when it's over and I come up for air, it's as if the world had stopped those hours spent enjoying myself. What's Jon's world called? He managed to struggle upright for a moment, then sank weakly to his knees. The ending is excellent. Long later, when Little Jon was able to sit up, he had no idea where he was or what had happened. If all of us could read minds then perhaps we would learn to only think the kind thoughts as well as say them. This is a very "dated" book and although it still has relevance about how people are it does not appeal to some kids because of the dated language and This is a very "dated" book and although it still has relevance about how people are it does not appeal to some kids because of the dated language and clothing etc.
It is not a strong connection but the connection is there. But hey, much better than not finding. The rusty wires were hidden by the shrubbery until he was almost on them. . A large woman, wearing faded overalls, got out and waddled over to them. Little Jon wants to avoid those things and Alexander Key seems to be arguing that he is better off for it.
He had never seen trees quite like the ones around him. The motor he had heard earlier had passed, but a second one was approaching. I was completely entranced in the first paragraph. The movie is awesome and deals with many of the same themes that The Forgotten Door does. Not quite suited for all ages, it is short and designed for children. Unlike many of the books I fondly remember, this one lived up to my memory of it and Hannah really enjoyed it too. There is a whole heap of social commentary however.

. Some of them have traumatic or personal issues in their past that keep them from seeing how bad their decisions are. All of it was covered with a wild tangle of forest. Year after year, my students and I would read this book aloud 5th, 6th, and 7th grade. I realize now that Key never really dealt with an issue which weighed heavily on Zenna Henderson's mind: what moral responsibility do those lucky enough to be born in privileged societies have? Both wore jackets and blue jeans, like the woman.
The gloom, the chill, and the creeping mist in this strange and bewildering land, together with his growing hunger and lameness, were almost too much. But it was like so many other things that should be simple - like agreeing on something that was right, instead of trying to make it right some other way. Of course, as an adult, I kind of wish it was more fleshed out. There had been shooting stars when - something happened. He could see only one solution that might help. .
Figured 'im for a Cherokee, but —" "Pshaw, he ain't no Indian," she interrupted, peering closer. This time, in Rolla, I found a cheap Scholastic. He was very hungry, and his eyes searched continually for food. Very glad I own this book and can keep re-reading it as desired. . The Beans—Mary, Thomas, and their children, Brooks and Sally—stop their pick-up truck on a nearby country road and take the boy home with them.
What you doin' in my field? But I seriously doubt the whole 'gated community' idea of civilization, which Key seems to have accepted without concern. In sudden alarm he realized he could no longer see the sun. Memory had fled, and he ached all over. The tough material refused to tear. I imagine the beginning of that kind of world would be pretty awful for a while, though. I found that to be such a non-cynical view that it kind of shocked me momentarily.
