Wayward Children

Wayward Children is a series of fantasy novellas by American author Seanan McGuire. It takes place at a boarding school for children who have journeyed to magical lands and been forcibly returned to the real world. The volumes alternate between being set at the school versus showing the lives of the children while they were in their alternate worlds.

In 2022, the series won the Hugo Award for Best Series.

Locus has regularly included the Wayward Children books in their year-end list of the best novellas of the year, including Every Heart a Doorway (2016), Down Among the Sticks and Bones (2017), Come Tumbling Down (2020), and Lost in the Moment and Found (2023). The American Library Association selected Every Heart a Doorway for their 2017 Rainbow Book List.

In 2017, Booklist included Down Among the Sticks and Bones on their list of the year's top ten science fiction and fantasy books.

In July 2021, Paramount Pictures acquired the film rights to the Wayward Children series.

In 2023, Every Heart a Doorway was banned in Clay County District Schools, Florida and removed from school libraries in Duval County Public Schools, with pending review for upcoming school years.
