At this magical boarding school, children who have experienced fantasy adventures are reintroduced to the "real" world.When Rini lands with a literal splash in the pond behind Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children, the last thing she expects to find is that her mother, Sumi, died years before Rini was even conceived. But Rini can’t let Reality get in the way of her quest – not when she has an entire world to save! (Much more common than one would suppose.)If she can't find a way to restore her mother, Rini will have more than a world to save: she will never have been born in the first place. And in a world without magic, she doesn’t have long before Reality notices her existence and washes her away.

"I'm loving this universe more and more as I read each book. This one is weirdly beautiful and features yet again, a great cast of characters and touches on body image, gender identity, able-ism, bullying and maturity even as it takes you to some extremely no-sense places."

"I love the weirdness factor of this series. Makes me feel somewhat more normal!"

"I like how dark and eerie the books generally speaking are. I think this book out of the three books I have read, feels the most out of place, but it makes sense. The series isn't only about the dark worlds but the cotton candy cloud ones as well. I was thrilled to see Kade and Christopher's story arcs again. I really enjoyed them both from the first book. Three other characters are brand new to The Wayward Children series. I liked Cora a lot and kind of enjoyed her journey to finding friends. I'm kind of hoping that the next book will go back to that dark, moody feel it had in the previous books even though I did enjoy this book."
