The Door in the Wall by Marguerite de Angeli is a historical fiction novel set in medieval England. The story follows Robin, a young boy born into a noble family, who is suddenly struck by a debilitating illness that leaves him unable to walk. Confined to a wheelchair, Robin struggles with feelings of despair and loss as he watches his peers lead active, adventurous lives. Despite his limitations, Robin's journey of growth and self-discovery begins when he encounters a mysterious door in the wall of his father's castle. This door leads him on a spiritual and physical quest, teaching him the value of courage, hope, and determination. With the help of a kind monk named Brother Luke, Robin learns to adapt to his new circumstances, finding strength in his inner abilities rather than in outward appearances.

As Robin faces various challenges, both physical and emotional, his character transforms from a frustrated, self-pitying child to a resilient and brave individual. The novel explores themes of overcoming adversity, the importance of perseverance, and the potential for personal growth even in the face of hardship. Robin's eventual return to health, with the help of his own determination and the support of those around him, is a testament to the power of resilience and the human spirit. Through his journey, Robin discovers that the true meaning of strength lies not in what one can physically do, but in how one meets life's challenges with faith, courage, and hope.
