I decided to read another page and got sucked into the vortex of this book, not too bad as it's a novella but bad in that I just couldn't stop. In a school for children who have returned from worlds they fitted in, Nancy is a new girl. Eleanor West is the headmistress and while she looks in her 6...
The Wayward Children series explores the what-ifs and uncomfortable questions behind portal fantasies where children are brought to a magical other-land, save a kingdom or perhaps conquer their fears, only to wind up home again once the adventure is over.

Series: Wayward Children #1 I probably should have know better than to try another book by Seanan McGuire, but this was available at my library so I figured I'd give it a shot. This wasn't the book for me. It started out with an interesting concept (kids travel to weird worlds and then back to t...

HOLY FUCKING SHIT! I LOVE THIS!Okay, so a few moments I had to backtrack and wonder who's perspective I was reading. But beyond those rare incidents where it could be me that's the problem, everything was perfect. I'll be back with a full review shortly.
