Every Heart a Doorway (Wayward Children)

Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children
No Solicitations
No Visitors
No Quests
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.
Nancy tumbled once, but now she's back. The things she's experienced... they change a person. The children under Miss West's care understand all too well. And each of them is seeking a way back to their own fantasy world.
But Nancy's arrival marks a change at the Home. There's a darkness just around each corner, and when tragedy strikes, it's up to Nancy and her new-found schoolmates to get to the heart of things.
No matter the cost.

Taken to our annual BookCrossing Christmas brunch, for the wrapped book exchange.
First sentence: "The girls were never present for the entrance interviews."

Received this at the Calgary BookCrossing wrapped gift exchange.
I received this book at our wrapped book exchange last January. While I enjoy watching fantasy type movies (Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia etc) I've never gravitated to reading these types of books. This was a good introduction as the book was quite short and fast paced. The down side to that is that I felt that there was not time to properly develop the characters. Overall I enjoyed the book very much and found it to be an interesting premise of what happens to these kids if or when they return to the real world.
Taking this to the October BookCrossing meeting to be enjoyed by the next reader.
Picked up at the October meeting!
Taken to the Zoo meetup! I loved this series and binged the first 6 books, waiting for the 7th!

Had a delightful meetup at Calgary Zoo. Had books displayed in trunks before the visit to the Zoo. There were THREE BookCrossing babies there! I ended up taking home more books than I was able to pass on!
Ah - this is what happen s to the children who ae different. Other worlds. I found the overlap of the worlds a bit confusing but that could just be my brain issues.
Had a lovely visit in rureading's yard to drop off books and pick up some new ones and bring some back. Lovely visit on a sunny but slightly cool day.
Enjoyed a patio get together with crossingguardma and sing-song. Exchanged a few books as well.
I was enjoying this YA book thinking it was the usual Fae storyline with teens when the writing took a darker turn into creepy. I admired the author's ability to add rather grim bits not for shock value but as matter of fact.
At the end I discover that the author wrote Feed as Mira Grant. A story that made a lasting impression.

Returning to Calgary Book Crossing group
Returning to Calgary Book Crossing Group
Got these from a BookCrosser to return to circulation. I am sorting the books and either passing directly to a Calgary member who has requested it or returning it to the person who introduced it to the group. Hopefully this one will find a new reader soon!
This book is back in my hands. It will be held for a future release.
