Publisher's Summary

Locus Awards - Nominee - 2021

Hugo Award - 2021

The fifth installment in New York Times best-selling author Seanan McGuire's award-winning Wayward Children series, Come Tumbling Down picks up the threads left dangling by Every Heart a Doorway and Down Among the Sticks and Bones.

When Jack left Eleanor West's School for Wayward Children she was carrying the body of her deliciously deranged sister - whom she had recently murdered in a fit of righteous justice - back to their home on the Moors.

But death in their adopted world isn't always as permanent as it is here, and when Jack is herself carried back into the school, it becomes clear that something has happened to her. Something terrible. Something of which only the maddest of scientists could conceive. Something only her friends are equipped to help her overcome.

Eleanor West's "No Quests" rule is about to be broken.

Again.

Consistently Amazing

As with the rest of this series, Come Tumbling Down was amazing. However there's something a little more special about Jack, for me, and the same goes for having Seanan McGuire reading her own stories (and it didn't go unnoticed that all the books in this series she has narrated have focussed specifically on Jack and her story).
