This is the third book in the Wayward Children series. All of these books have been slightly bizarre novellas focused around children who have gone to different worlds and survived different fairy tales only to be returned back to the normal world.
In this book some of the Wayward Children set out on an adventure to help Rini (who arrives from land of candy and bakery goods) revive her mother. Rini's mother (Sumi) died before Rini was born and Rini needs to revive her or else Rini will disappear forever (yes, Rini is from a Nonsense world).
What follows is a bizarre quest that follows no logic and is filled with delicious descriptions of delectable sweets. I love how bizarre and creative the Wayward Children books are. They always have some adventure to them, have a very fairy tale feel to them, and are completely unpredictable.
I enjoyed this book quite a bit. There were a couple parts where McGuire tries to get into the âwhyâ and âscienceâ behind the portal doors; this was honestly a bit confusing and got long. However, aside from these parts this was an entertaining story.
Overall this was a good continuation of the Wayward Children series. I would recommend to YA and older readers who enjoy bizarre and quirky fairy tales of sorts. I definitely plan on continuing the series and reading about more of these Wayward Children.
