Be Sure: Wayward Children, Volumes 1-3 by Seanan McGuire

Description

"Join the students of Eleanor West, and jump through doors into worlds both dangerous and extraordinary. Book 1: Every Heart a Doorway. Book 2: Down Among the Sticks and Bones. Book 3: Beneath the Sugar Sky. 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 Nancy, show more cast out of her world by the Lord of the Dead; Jack and Jill, each adopted by a monster of the Moors; Sumi and her impossible daughter, Rini. Three worlds, three adventures, three sets of lives destined to intersect. Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children. No Solicitations / No Visitors / No Quests. But quests are what these children do best...."-- show less

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.

Nancy tumbled once, but now she's back. The things she's experienced... they change a person. The show more children under Miss West's care understand all too well. And each of them is seeking a way back to their own fantasy world. show less
