Every Heart a Doorway

I enjoyed this novella quite a bit. The premise is great - a school for kids who've visited, and then been expelled from, fantastical worlds. As a super-fan of Alice and Wornderland-type tales, I definitely would have devoured this series as a kid, particularly the parts about the kids who went to "lands of the dead" or worlds modelled on Gothic archetpyes. I like the diverse characters, the breezy/tongue-in-cheek writing style. The plot (a murder mystery) almost felt like a McGuffin or a vehicel to introduce the world-building (or "worlds"-building), but it was engaging enough.
