A portal fantasy, a murder mystery for teens, a coming-of-age theme: this was a story that didn't fit any preconceived notion. Enthralling at turns and badly executed at others (poor character development for other than the main two or three characters), the book was still an interesting approach to fitting in and feeling 'at home'. It was certainly a noir plot. Some children's/YA books are readable at any age. This one had a very juvenile feel. The writer has great potential with her ideas, however. ( ![]() I knew I'd love this book, and I was not disappointed. Can't wait to pick up the rest of the series! So this was totally different for me, but once I got into it, I read it in one sitting. I'm so used to overly long stories that this one actually seemed too short. I loved the characters and the setting. I wanted more with these characters and am very thankful that the next one in the series was immediately available. I may be up all night reading it! Interesting premise and interesting world, but overall very disappointing. 2.5 stars. I feel like I read a completely different version of this book from everyone else who rated it so highly. The premise was really intriguing, a boarding school for children who had gone through doors to other fantasy realms and returned but were unable to adjust to reality. Fascinating, right? Right; until it was completely and utterly spoiled by a choppy and ridiculous plot - some of the most godawful dialog I've ever read - and generic and inconsistent characters. It was a mess. I hated it. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Ingår i serienWayward Children (1)
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.
