As a fantasy-reading kid, I used to wander the wooded edges around my neighborhood hoping a portal would take me somewhere else- anywhere else. So I'm a suckered for portal fantasy, and especially books like this series that explore the consequences and aftermath of them. I loved how these stories explore what different portals offer different children, and what it might feel like to return reluctantly to our world. I hope more omnibus editions of the Wayward Children cone out- I much prefer reading & buying a "full" book than picking up novellas.
