The fourth book in the Wayward Children series, this book follows Miss Lundy, a teacher and therapist at the Eleanor West's Home, and her journey into Fae and Fantasy in her childhood. This world is a little different than the others in that Lundy gets to go back and forth easily between worlds until her eighteenth birthday. In the other books, the way back into Fantasy after leaving once was not easy. Once again, it's great prose and world-building and a Lundy has a great character arc. I am just loving these stories, even though they are dark and in the case of this one, rather depressing. Like the others, this was nominated for a Hugo for novella.
