"Jesse Vilinsky brings expert narration to another installment of the Wayward Children series...Vilinsky creates fun, expressive banter between Antsy and the group as they journey back home, finding new goals along the way.

Portals and danger, and a girl who can find both in the next book in the Hugo and Nebula Award-Winning Wayward Children series from Seanan McGuire.

Antsy is the latest student to pass through the doors at Eleanor West's School for Wayward Children.

When the school’s (literally irresistible) mean girl realizes that Antsy's talent for finding absolutely anything may extend to doors, Antsy is forced to flee in the company of a small group of friends, looking for a way back to the Shop Where the Lost Things Go to be sure that Vineta and Hudson are keeping their promise.

Along the way, they will travel from a world which hides painful memories that cut as sharply as its beauty, to a land that time wasn’t yet old enough to forget—and more than one student's life will change forever.

Mislaid in Parts Half-Known is a story that reminds us that getting what you want doesn't always mean finding what you need.

not completely sure but i think a neverending series of weird short books in which fairytales are real could cure me. this is kind of like if fredrik backman wrote an installment of this series, in that it is technically a story about a group of weird children who have gone in and out of magic worlds......more

ARC provided by Tor - thank you so much !! “The door wasn’t there because you have any obligations left to these people, or this world.

Nine books later and I still love this series. While this certainly lacks the magic of the first three (maybe four) books, I find I still enjoy following these kids' lives. We meet a few new folk, but there are some you'll recognize from previous stories. Urban fantasy always feels just the bit more......more
