Beneath the Sugar Sky, the third book in McGuire's Wayward Children series, returns to Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children in a stand-alone contemporary fantasy for fans of all ages. At this magical boarding school, children who have experienced fantasy adventures are reintroduced to the "real" world.

When Rini lands with a literal splash in the pond behind Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children, the last thing she expects to find is that her mother, Sumi, died years before Rini was even conceived. But Rini can't let reality get in the way of her quest—not when she has an entire world to save!

Good thing the student body is well-acquainted with quests. . . .

Industry Reviews

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 A Gathering of Shadows

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

McGuire's lyrical prose makes this novella a rich experience. --Library Journal starred review

This gothic charmer is a love letter to anyone who's ever felt out of place. -- Publishers Weekly

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

This gothic novel is ideal for fantasy fans who have longed for a world of their own, as well as readers looking for books with diverse casts. --Bookish

"Girl Interrupted meets Grimm's Fairy Tales. Let it in and it will touch your heart and open your mind." --Geek Syndicate
