Despite the rules against it, Antsy and her friends at Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children find themselves on a quest when Antsy opens a door to escape from a bullying classmate. The path home is never straightforward.
As in previous books, McGuire handles her character's trauma with care and thoughfulness. We get a resolution to the stories of several characters and learn more about others. I can't wait to read the next one!
