S. Lewis' classics” —NPR. Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children No Solicitations No Visitors No Quests. 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. Nancy tumbled once, but now she's back. The things she's experienced... they change a person. The children under Miss West's care understand all too well. And each of them is seeking a way back to their own fantasy world. But Nancy's arrival marks a change at the Home. There's a darkness just around each corner, and when tragedy strikes, it's up to Nancy and her newfound schoolmates to get to the heart of things... no matter the cost. The Wayward Children Series Book 1: _Every Heart a Doorway_ Book 2: _Down Among the Sticks and Bones_ Book 3: _Beneath the Sugar Sky_ Book 4: _In an Absent Dream_. PRAISE FOR _EVERY HEART A DOORWAY_. “Seanan McGuire has long been one of the smartest writers around, and with this novella we can easily see that her heart is as big as her brain. We know this story isn't true, but it is truth.” — Charlaine Harris, New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse series (TV's _True Blood_). “ _Every Heart a Doorway_ by Seanan McGuire is one of the most extraordinary stories I've ever read.” — V. E. Schwab, New York Times bestselling author of _The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue_. “Seanan McGuire once again demonstrates her intimate knowledge of the human heart in a powerful fable of loss, yearning and damaged children.” — Paul Cornell, author of _London Falling_ and _Witches of Lychford_. “So mindblowingly good, it hurts.” — io9. “With _Every Heart a Doorway_, McGuire has created her own mini-masterpiece of portal fantasy — a jewel of a book that deserves to be shelved with Lewis Carroll's and C. S. Lewis' classics, even as it carves its own precocious space between them.” — NPR.
