Beneath the Sugar Sky

In the vibrant and whimsical world of Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children, where individuals return from fantastical realms grappling with the mundanity of our own, a new and extraordinary challenge arrives. Rini, a sugar-spun girl from a world of logic and whimsy, crash-lands into the pond behind the school with a most unusual problem: her mother, Sumi, died long before Rini was ever conceived. Facing immediate non-existence as Reality begins to unravel her, Rini must embark on a desperate quest to restore her mother and, in doing so, save her entire world, which is on the brink of being forgotten. This standalone novella within the celebrated Wayward Children series plunges readers into a vibrant adventure filled with baking, derring-do, and the profound bonds of friendship. As Rini races against time and the encroaching void, the students of Eleanor West's, well-versed in quests of their own, rise to the occasion, proving that even the most impossible journeys can be undertaken with courage, heart, and a touch of magic.
