Chapter One Hundred Sixty-Six: Every Heart a Doorway

So I read this quick little book by Seanan McGuire on the recommendation of two of my coworkers at the library, and I'm so glad I decided to read it.  Ever wondered what life was like for Alice or the Pevensies or anyone else who gets through to a magical world and then has to return home?  Every Heart a Doorway explores what might happen to teens who've had adventures in other worlds and then end up back in the real world.  In this case, they end up at a boarding school run by a mysterious and sympathetic old lady who simultaneously tries to help them move on and find the doorways back to their other world.  When our heroine arrives at school, she's not sure what to expect, and when students at the school start being murdered, she's the number one suspect.  A strange mix of boarding school story, fantasy, and murder mystery, this interesting little book captured me from page with its excellent writing.  If you're willing to suspend your disbelief for a while, give Every Heart a Doorway a try.
