Wayward Children Books in Order, by Seanan McGuire

Set at Eleanor West’s Home for Wayward Children, a boarding school for children who have returned from magical worlds and are struggling to readjust to the “real” world, this Fantasy series written by Seanan McGuire (October Daye) follows various characters who have experienced portal fantasies—journeys to otherworldly realms, such as Narnia-like lands or underworlds.

After their adventures, these children find themselves back in our world, often feeling out of place. At the school, they share their experiences and try to cope with the challenges of returning to a world that does not understand or accept the magical realities they’ve encountered.
