Review:
This series has me hooked. Maybe because I was the odd child & had an very vivid imagination that was never allowed to be shown. Who really knows. Anyhow, on with the review!
Rini is so much like Sumi that at times I got them confused despite knowing Sumi was dead. It was odd, but maybe it was a bit intended? Either way Rini & Sumi while loveable characters would drive me absolutely insane.
This book delves into why and how worlds are made. It was really intriguing to say the least. I hope that future books build upon it & that it makes sense, even if it is non-sense.
I am glad Sumi is back. I am looking forward to everything she brings to the stories.
Goodreads Description:
Beneath the Sugar Sky, the third book in McGuire's Wayward Children series, returns to Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children in a standalone contemporary fantasy for fans of all ages. At this magical boarding school, children who have experienced fantasy adventures are reintroduced to the "real" world.
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...
A tale of friendship, baking, and derring-do. Warning: May contain nuts.
