The Gate of Other (The Moon Gate Trilogy, Book One)

Recently, Lorette Jamison's family moved to the edges of her old town because of her scatterbrained father's work. Eager to see what life is like outside the city she's known forever, Lorette and her friends start exploring the land. But when they stumble upon a dead man's property, they find a mystery worth investigation. After all, who but a crazy person would keep a huge hedge maze in their backyard after they died? And what's the deal with the ten entrances into the maze, all with a different name? And why does her father know what one of them means? Soon, Lorette and her three friends are swept up into a whirlwind of mystery and magic, with the final destination being a world on the other side of the gates.
