Beneath the Sugar Sky returns to Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children. At this magical boarding school, children who have experienced fantasy adventures are reintroduced to the "real" world.

Sumi died years before her prophesied daughter Rini could be born. Rini was born anyway, and now she’s trying to bring her mother back from a world without magic.


The sequel to "Every Heart a Doorway" (there's a book #2 as well, but as far as I understand, that's more a companion novel or a prequel than a sequel) and every bit as good as the first one. I love the idea of having doors open between worlds in a sort of structured manner, and being able to place these worlds on a compass appeals to my geeky side.

Where EHaD mostly takes place in our world, this time we get to visit other worlds and see how they function. Must admit, I don't think I'd feel particularly at east in either, but they're fun to visit through writing :-)

Awesome, surreal books that definitely need to be part of my physical library at some point.
