Mr B's review

This one defies every genre. It’s a boarding school portal fantasy murder mystery with a good splash of horror, and so much symbolism and weirdness and metaphor. A small, tense, magical novella that asks more questions than it answers but is perfectly tied up exactly as it is.
Children have always disappeared under the right conditions; slipping through the shadows under a bed or at the back of a wardrobe, tumbling down rabbit holes and into old wells, and emerging somewhere… else. But magical lands have little need for used-up miracle children.
Eleanor West’s home for Wayward Children is for the children changed by those worlds. Eleanor understands them the way others never will, because she was one of those children too.

Description

Winner: 2022 Hugo Award for Best Series

Where it all began-the first three books in Seanan McGuire’s multi-Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Wayward Children series.

Join the students of Eleanor West, and jump through doors into worlds both dangerous and extraordinary.

Book 1: Every Heart a Doorway
Book 2: Down Among the Sticks and Bones
Book 3: Beneath the Sugar Sky

Children have always disappeared under the right conditions; slipping through the shadows under a bed or at the back of a wardrobe, tumbling down rabbit holes and into old wells, and emerging somewhere… else.

But magical lands have little need for used-up miracle children.

Meet Nancy, cast out of her world by the Lord of the Dead; Jack and Jill, each adopted by a monster of the Moors; Sumi and her impossible daughter, Rini.

Three worlds, three adventures, three sets of lives destined to intersect.

Eleanor West’s Home for Wayward Children
No Solicitations / No Visitors / No Quests

But quests are what these children do best…
