Beneath the Sugar Sky

Beneath the Sugar Sky, the third book in McGuire's Wayward Children series, invites readers back to Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children in a standalone contemporary fantasy that appeals to fans of all ages. Here, children who have lived through magical adventures are slowly reintroduced to the real world.

When Rini suddenly lands with a splash in the pond behind Eleanor West's Home, she never expects to discover that her mother, Sumi, passed away years before Rini was even conceived. But Rini refuses to let reality stand in the way of her mission not when there's an entire world at stake. (Which is more common than one might think.)

If Rini cannot find a way to bring her mother back, she risks more than just losing a world she could erase her own existence. Without magic on her side, time is running out before reality catches up and washes her away. Luckily, the students here know a thing or two about quests.

A story filled with friendship, baking, and bold adventures.
