After his parents are kidnapped, timid twelve-year-old Henry York leaves his sheltered Boston life and moves to small-town Kansas, where he and his cousin Henrietta discover and explore hidden doors in his attic room that seem to open onto other worlds.
Henry York neměl sebemenší tušení, že se mu během prázdnin v Kansasu otevřou dvířka vedoucí k úžasným dobrodružstvím – a že jich bude skoro sto. Návštěva u strýčka a tety však nabrala na obrátkách, když se ukázalo, že dvířka skrytá za stěnou Henryho ložnice jsou vchody do jiných světů. Pobyt na farmě se chýlí ke konci a Henry se odvážně rozhodne, že projde dvířky na druhou stranu a zjistí, odkud pochází a kdo jsou jeho rodiče. Putuje z jednoho světa do druhého, setkává se s čaroději a skrčky a nakonec se postaví tváří v tvář zlu Endoru. Čarodějnice však tentokrát není sama…

Henrymu nezbývá než požádat o pomoc legendárního Kaštanového krále. Všechno má však svou cenu a může se stát, že Kaštanový král po něm na oplátku bude vyžadovat cosi stejně nebezpečného jako čarodějnice sama. Třetí díl série (Sto tajných dvířek, Pampeliškový oheň).
