Summary
Another fantasy audiobook from Seanan McGuire's Wayward Children series, which began with the Alex, Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award-winning, World Fantasy Award finalist, Every Heart a Doorway.
Beneath the Sugar Sky, the third audiobook in McGuire's Wayward Children series, returns listeners to Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children in a contemporary fantasy for fans of all ages. At this magical boarding school, children who have experienced fantasy adventures are reintroduced to the "real" world.
When Rini lands with a literal splash in the pond behind Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children, the last thing she expects to find is that her mother, Sumi, died years before Rini was even conceived. But Rini can’t let Reality get in the way of her quest—not when she has an entire world to save! (Much more common than one would suppose.)
If she can't find a way to restore her mother, Rini will have more than a world to save: she will never have been born in the first place. And in a world without magic, she doesn’t have long before Reality notices her existence and washes her away. Good thing the student body is well-acquainted with quests...
A tale of friendship, baking, and derring-do.
Warning: May contain nuts.

not my cup of tea
I loved the 2 first books in the series, but this wasnt for me. I like the eerie atmosphere more than the whimsical one (which proves I'd be in a logical world lol) and I didnt like the characters at all (expect my wonderful wonderful boys). the narrator did a good job - she really captured the very nonsense, high energy, weird personality in the girls. at first I thought I didnt like her, but it was because I didnt like the book as much. if the two first narrators wouldve narrated this book I'm sure it wouldnt suit. still reccomend tho! it was fun.

Wonderful
Wonderful as usual. The only negative thing I have to say about this series is that it is so short! I have never wanted more from a series than I have this!

Wonderful story in the Wayward Children series
Great to see more of these characters and worlds would have been nice to have Every Heart a Doorway narrator back as she did Kade’s voice very well but a good performance still
