Caleb also applies, being an Archer Archetype and Friend to All Living Things who's had his share of adventures with Frank and Mordecai and proves to be a dependable ally.
Cool Uncle: Frank initially in a quiet, but sage way, but then in a more awesome fashion once his past and bailies become clearer. Especially the 100th, which allows one to actually travel between the doors. The Chains of Commanding: By the third book, Henry is well-aware of this, which is why he is less than enthused to become the Chestnut King's heir. When she denies this, her sisters are all too happy to bring up all the times she's proven it true (letting a birthday present slip, telling someone else about their private tree fort, etc.) Batter Up!: Zeke, being a baseball player, puts his bat to the test. Badass Family: Henry, his father and uncles, his aunt, his brothers and eventually even his cousins, who were raised normally, all take active roles in fighting the villains of the story. Author Appeal: The emphasis on baseball and the green magic associated with dandelions both seem to have ended up as major aspects of the story just because the author likes them. All There in the Manual: At the beginning of each book, there is a reproduction of Henry and Henrietta's grandfather's journal, showing where all those cupboards go. Now he, his family, and even a few friends set off on a world-hopping adventure not quite of their own volition. And Henry may have accidentally released an ancient witch hidden behind one of the doors. Henry considers keeping them a secret, but his aunt Dotty and Uncle Frank already know-Frank, all too well. And it's only with the help of his grandfather's journal that they can be navigated. The plaster begins to chip away-and behind it, Henry and his cousins find 99 tiny doors. While sleeping up in his cousins' attic, though, he hears a strange tapping on the walls. In fact, while he was with his parents, he never got to do much on his own at all. He's never spent so much time outside before, or ridden in the back of a pickup truck, or played baseball. (Don't worry, it's not too confusing.) Henry has never been so far from home before. They live in a tiny town in Kansas called Henry, and they also have a daughter named Henrietta. In order to keep him sane, his nanny sends him off to be with his aunt, uncle, and cousins for a while. Bad idea: They get taken hostage by a rebel group. Henry York's parents went biking through Colombia. 
A prequel, The Door Before, was published later. The three books in the original trilogy are 100 Cupboards, Dandelion Fire, and The Chestnut King.
100 Cupboards is a fantasy novel series by N.D.
