Beneath the Sugar Sky, the third book in McGuires Wayward Children series, returns to Eleanor Wests Home for Wayward Children in a standalone 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 Wests 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 cant 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 cant 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 doesnt have long before Reality notices her existence and washes her away. Good thing the student body is well-acquainted with quests ...
