As we all know, children have always disappeared under the right conditions; slipping through a wardrobe into a magical land or tumbling down a rabbit hole. However, what happens when those lands discard those children back into the real world?
When Nancy arrives at the Home, she feels that she's among people who might understand her. She went through a Door once and now she's back, completely changed and completely at odds with the world around her. Under Miss West's care, Nancy and the other children can seek a way back to their fantasy worlds. However, after Nancy arrives, it soon becomes clear that there is danger around every corner and when tragedy strikes, it's up to Nancy and her new friends to get to the heart of the matter. No matter the cost.
I have enjoyed other books by this author and have always found her to be a creative storyteller. I was completely enchanted by this story and enjoyed it enough to add it the list of books for my personal collection. McGuire doesn't shy away from making this a dark story, even though the main character is a young person. If you enjoyed the Miss Peregrine books, you might like this, even though it has a darker edge to it.
