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. The Wayward Children Series

I recommend this book for people who like dark fantasy with a little bit of horror mixed in. Great read! Real page turner!
Interesting concept and likewise an interesting story. I think itâs lovely that all of the âWayward Childrenâ have a place to go and discuss their other worlds freely. I am undecided on the next installment but since they are so short Iâm sure Iâll read it at some point.
NOPE! Not for me. The entire books' premise and analogistic undertone..and really a serial killer?? It all just took away from all the good parts of the story...oh, yeah, there was not much left.
This novella is a story about what happens when you're kicked out of your fairy tale. It may look like a young adult book, but it's not. The audiobook was a treat to listen to as well. Less than five hours long, it's great for those slightly long drives that you go on for day trips.
A book of nonsensical worlds and strange people, I absolutely loved it! The pace wasn't too fast for such a short book but it still made you yearn for more. Sometimes, I'd wonder which door would open to me if it could ever happen? I think I would enter a world of high Logic with more Wicked than Virtue. All in all, I'm scrambling for the next book!.
