For those of you unfamiliar with the series, imagine if all the stories about entering a doorway into another world–Alice in Wonderland, The Chronicles of Narnia–were true. And then imagine the teenager who enters that door and lives the perfect magical experience of their dreams being thrust back into our reality. How strange that teenager will seem to their family. How lonely and lost they would be. Enter Eleanor West’s Home for Wayward Children, a boarding school that serves as a home for those waiting and hoping for their doors to open once more. In Book One, there’s a murderer loose in the school. New student Nancy is a prime suspect since she hails from the halls of the dead. Can she figure out who the real killer is? The series consists of four novellas: Every Heart a Doorway Down Among the Sticks and Bones Beneath the Sugar Sky In an Absent Dream This award-winning series is diverse and fun and sure to be an amazing TV series. I’ve been listening to them all on audio, so if you haven’t read them yet, I can recommend the audiobooks.
