Synopsis:
When Rini lands with a literal splash in the pond behind Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children, the last thing she expects to find is that her mother, Sumi, died years before Rini was even conceived. But Rini can't let Reality get in the way of her quest - not when she has an entire world to save! (Much more common than one would suppose.)
If she can't find a way to restore her mother, Rini will have more than a world to save: she will never have been born in the first place. And in a world without magic, she doesn't have long before Reality notices her existence and washes her away. Good thing the student body is well-acquainted with quests...
Review:
This is the third book in the Wayward Children's series and we follow a selection of the students from the school as they journey to different worlds to help an old friend. I really love this series, it's very clever and moving and sweet. In fact the only complaint I have is that the books just aren't long enough!

I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars.
I haven't yet read the first book in this series, but I've really wanted to. It sounds so intriguing and now I can marathon all three books since they're out. Thanks for sharing your review.
ReplyDeleteI really recommend them all. It's a great little series :)
