Be Sure Volume II: Wayward Children, Books 4-6
The second collection in Seanan McGuire's multi-Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Wayward Children series.
Join the students of Eleanor West, and jump through doors into worlds both dangerous and extraordinary. Book 4: In an Absent DreamBook 5: Come Tumbling Down
Book 6: Across the Green Grass Fields Children have always disappeared under the right conditions; slipping through the shadows under a bed or at the back of a wardrobe, tumbling down rabbit holes and into old wells, and emerging somewhere... else. But magical lands have little need for used-up miracle children. Meet Lundy, who makes an ill-fated bargain in a goblin market; reunite with Jack as she realizes a scientist has done something truly mad to her; and meet Regan who discovers a world of centaurs, kelpies, and other magical equines. Three worlds, three adventures, three sets of lives destined to intersect. Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children
No Solicitations / No Visitors / No Quests But quests are what these children do best...

About the Author
McGuire, Seanan: - SEANAN McGUIRE is the author of the Hugo, Nebula, Alex, and Locus Award-winning Wayward Children series, the October Daye series, the InCryptid series, and other works. She also writes darker fiction as Mira Grant. Seanan lives in Seattle with her cats, a vast collection of creepy dolls, horror movies, and sufficient books to qualify her as a fire hazard. She won the 2010 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer, and in 2013 became the first person to appear five times on the same Hugo ballot. In 2022 she managed the same feat, again!
Praise for this book
Praise for In an Absent Dream
"The author beautifully portrays the overwhelming experience of being on the threshold of maturity... Choose wisely, and choose this book." --Kirkus Reviews "This is a lovely installment of the series, with pitch-perfect fairy-tale logic...The series as a whole has wonderfully internally consistent world building--and characters, no matter how far in the background, with complexity and depth." --Booklist Praise for Come Tumbling Down "Come Tumbling Down is more proof of the charismatic power Seanan McGuire has long exhibited in the fantasy field; simply put, no one does it better." --Locus "Grotesque, haunting, lovely." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review Praise for Across the Green Grass Fields "Anyone who appreciates off-the-beaten-path adventures will be swept away." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "A gorgeous standalone. The prose is emotional and moving and will speak to the hearts and minds of readers." --Kirkus Reviews "A great read for middle and high schoolers who enjoy themes of friendship and family, and a magical world of unicorns and centaurs." --School Library Journal
