In this of the first Ulysses Moore books, three kids explore a house—once occupied by Ulysses Moore and his wife—and the surrounding cliffs and town of Kilmore Cove. Despite the title, La porta del tiempo, the door doesn’t manage to take the characters through time until the final chapter, ’Inizia l’avventura..” That particular door can take intrepid travelers whenever they wish, but the other books in the series have doors that lead to only one particular time and place.
