Winner: 2022 Hugo Award for Best Series
Where it all began-the first three books in Seanan McGuire’s multi-Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Wayward Children series.
Join the students of Eleanor West, and jump through doors into worlds both dangerous and extraordinary.
Book 1: Every Heart a Doorway
Book 2: Down Among the Sticks and Bones
Book 3: Beneath the Sugar Sky
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.
Meet Nancy, cast out of her world by the Lord of the Dead; Jack and Jill, each adopted by a monster of the Moors; Sumi and her impossible daughter, Rini.
Three worlds, three adventures, three sets of lives destined to intersect.

Be Sure
By Seanan McGuire
Review by Mida
What happens to children after they fall out of Wonderland, or come back from Neverland? After they leave their magical worlds, what happens to them? Children who have had their fantastic adventures but have now been spat back into the real world must come to grips with what has happened to them – or, as sometimes happens, wait for their door to reappear. Be Sure is a series of 3 novellas, all set in the same universe and based around the same fascinating premise. Each is as distinct and self-contained as the last, and follows our core group through a wonderful and vivid world. This book is perfect for fans of twisted fairy tales like Christina Henry or dark fantasy. It has a lot to say if you are willing to hear it and will take you on a thrilling ride along the way.
