Very interesting concept. It's all about a boarding school for children who return from portal worlds and are not accepted by their parents who want them to get better. I personally did not like this book, as it turned into a murder mystery fairly quickly. I also didn't like the explanations of the portal worlds themselves as they were put into weird categories.

This book is soooooo amazingly unique and imaginative and spectacularly written. If you like fleshed out characters and their interactions with each other (along with a slight murder mystery to keep things interesting), I would 100% recommend Every Heart a Doorway.
