Winner of the Hugo Award, Hugo Award for Best Series, Alex Award, Locus Award, and Nebula Award. Nominated for the World Fantasy Award, British Fantasy Award, and Tiptree Honor List. "A mini-masterpiece of portal fantasy — a jewel of a book that deserves to be shelved with Lewis Carroll's and C. S. Lewis' classics" — NPR. New York Times bestselling author Seanan McGuire presents a fresh take on the portal fantasy genre that blends *Alice in Wonderland*, *The Magicians*, and *The Nightmare Before Christmas*. 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. Each of them is seeking a way back to their own fantasy world. Nancy's arrival marks a change at the Home, and when tragedy strikes, it's up to her and her new-found schoolmates to get to the heart of things. No matter the cost. **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 At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
