Publisher's summary

"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. Some characters are depicted with quirky personalities, but the narration is strongest in the colorful way Vilinsky describes the fantastical setting." —AudioFile

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.

Doors!

It was an awesome idea that the kids of Wayward school would ask Antsy for their doors since she can find anything, but some children are not nice about it and that made Antsy run. With a few real friends, they adventure to the land where there are dinosaurs and Prism and back to the Shop where the lost things go! This is where Antsy and her friends try to put things right for the future kids that end up at the shop. This is a great story of abuse and the evil cycle that may come with kids who grow up abused and as an adult, becomes the abuser. Children growing up way too fast, having their own childhood taken from them by the people meant to protect and care for them. This trauma is far too real and it happens so much more often than we know. It is beautifully written. Beware the trigger warnings for this book, but otherwise it’s worth the read!

Another Lovely Installment

Once again, Seanan McGuire pulls our heart strings and our imaginations as her Children of the Doors continue their adventures. A moving story of choices, the importance of consent, and the gravity of being sure.

Many old favorites are back - Sumi, Cade, and Christopher as well as recently introduced Emily and Anci. They, along with Cora, find themselves on a quest to find where they truly belong.

a great addition to an already great series.

A grand quest

Antsy gets to be in charge of her own life, and all of the gang get to move their own stories along.

Love this series

Seanan did it again. I loved it. Her tenderness towards her characters is obvious. It’s so necessary as they are all broken in some way

favorite series

Every book puts my heart together bit by bit 💜 I hope there will be more

I love how these worlds are growing

Every new book I read in the Wayward Children series makes me excited for the next. I love the story and the characters, and the way they are written.

I adore this series!

What is so great about these stories is that they feel so new. While yes employing fantasy standards they are just so fresh by having diverse characters & trauma healing storylines without being preachy. Dying to know what’s gonna happen next specially at WhiteThorne school.

Love them all!
