Every Heart a Doorway

14 minSeanan McGuire

What's it about

Have you ever felt like you don't quite belong in this world, that you were meant for somewhere else entirely? Imagine a place for children who've returned from magical lands, a boarding school where being different is the norm. But what happens when this sanctuary becomes a crime scene? You'll step into Eleanor West’s Home for Wayward Children, a haven for those who have tumbled through portals into fantasy worlds and are now struggling to readjust. When a series of gruesome murders rocks the school, you'll join the newest student, Nancy, as she uncovers dark secrets and navigates the complex social dynamics of children who are all desperate to find their door back home.

Meet the author

Seanan McGuire is a New York Times bestselling author and the first person to be nominated for five Hugo Awards in a single year, an unprecedented achievement. Her passion for folklore, mythology, and the stories of outsiders fuels her writing, allowing her to create worlds like the one in Every Heart a Doorway. McGuire's own feeling of being a "child out of time" inspired her to give a voice and a home to characters who don't quite fit in our world.
