Welcome back! Today we're discussing The Jane Doe Chronicles, a Middle Grade series by Australian author, Jeremy Lachlan.

Jane Doe is a portal fantasy. There is a magical manor with nearly infinite rooms that connects to every other world in existence. There’s monsters, magic, lost civilisations, post apocalypse worlds, and of course, the power of friendship. This series is described as Narnia meets Indiana Jones!
