The second collection in Seanan McGuire's multi-Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Wayward Children series. Join the students of Eleanor West, and jump through doors into worlds both dangerous and extraordinary. Book 4: In an Absent Dream Book 5: Come Tumbling Down Book 6: Across the Green Grass Fields Children have always disappeared under the right conditions; slipping through the shadows under a bed or at the back of a wardrobe, tumbling down rabbit holes and into old wells, and emerging somewhere... else. But magical lands have little need for used-up miracle children. Meet Lundy, who makes an ill-fated bargain in a goblin market; reunite with Jack as she realizes a scientist has done something truly mad to her; and meet Regan who discovers a world of centaurs, kelpies, and other magical equines. Three worlds, three adventures, three sets of lives destined to intersect.
