Dinosaurs and portals, and a girl who can find both in the latest book in the Hugo and Nebula Award-Winning series.
Antsy is the latest student to pass through the doors at Eleanor West's School for Wayward Children.
When her fellow students realize that Antsy's talent for finding absolutely anything may extend to doors, she's forced to flee in the company of a small group of friends, looking for a way back to the Shop Where the Lost Things Go to be sure that Vineta and Hudson are keeping their promise.
Along the way, temptations are dangled, decisions are reinforced, and a departure to a world populated by dinosaurs brings untold dangers and one or two other surprises!
A story that reminds us that finding what you want doesn't always mean finding what you need.
My Review:
I just loved reading this book! This series is just so great, and it was great to continue on with the plot of the present, with the aftermath of the girls from the Whitethorn Institute escaping. Mostly that the girls are not at Eleanor West's school, so I hope we get more of what that ending was in the future!
This is Antsy after she gets to the school, and how the other students react to her with the possibility that she could find their doors. Which given that Antsy knows the cost of opening doors now, yeah, that's not a good situation for her to be in, with all the kids wanting her to find their doors.
That this is another adventure book like book 3, and we get to go to a few different places, that was really great! One of those worlds in particular, and what we learn, yeah, I'll be interested to see how that information will play out!
One thing that this book touched upon briefly, is the categorization of the different worlds. About how their knowledge of these different worlds, and how they should be labeled. This is another area that I can't wait to see more of!
This was a fantastic read, and I can't wait for more!
