A USA Today Bestseller!
Portals and danger, and a girl who can find both in the next book in the Hugo and Nebula Award–Winning Wayward Children series from Seanan McGuire.
Antsy is the latest student to pass through the doors at Eleanor West's School for Wayward Children.
When the school's (literally irresistible) mean girl realizes that Antsy's talent for finding absolutely anything may extend to doors, Antsy is forced to flee in the company of a small group of friends, looking for a way back to the Shop Where the Lost Things Go to be sure that Vineta and Hudson are keeping their promise.
Along the way, they will travel from a world which hides painful memories that cut as sharply as its beauty, to a land that time wasn't yet old enough to forget—and more than one student's life will change forever.
Mislaid in Parts Half-Known is a story that reminds us that getting what you want doesn't always mean finding what you need.

      Following Lost in the Moment and Found, Antsy is now a student at Eleanor West's School for Wayward Children. She is one of many students who have left the other worlds discovered when they went through doors, many hoping to find a way back to those magical places as this world does not really have a place for them anymore either. Antsy's ability to find anything is soon discovered, and the question is asked: Could Antsy find someone's door again? Faced with demands from the school's mean girl, Antsy escapes with several friends to try to find their way back to the Shop Where the Lost Things Go to ensure that promises of the truth made are being kept. The lands they travel through will reveal sharp memories and happy results, as some students will find their lives forever changed. McGuire continues to explore the various characters introduced through the series, and readers must once again say goodbye to some. VERDICT The ninth book of the "Wayward Children" series once again peels back the innocence and depths of desires and the need to belong somewhere. This delightful portal fantasy will stick in readers' hearts.--Kristi Chadwick

      Antsy is slowly finding her feet at Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children. She is younger than she seems, and she can find anything as long as it wants to be found. Cruel, irresistible Seraphina is the first to figure out the implications: Antsy can find her Door. Fortunately, Kade has made sure other students are looking out for Antsy, and they whisk her away before Seraphina finishes her demand. In order to escape Seraphina and her cronies, Antsy opens a Door, which leads her group of fellow students into a Fairyland which is horribly familiar to one of their number. The next Door leads back to the Store, where Antsy finds that Vineta is still using a child to open Doors, and lying about the cost. In the course of getting the Store back in more responsible hands, some children find closure, some children make interesting choices, and everyone makes up their own mind about what exactly Be Sure means when they're faced with a Door to open. All in all, a satisfying installment for the Wayward Children series fans (after Lost in the Moment and Found, 2023), and a promising lead-in to further developments.
