Mislaid in Parts Half-Known (Wayward Children Book 9)

In Mislaid in Parts Half-Known, Antsy arrives at Eleanor West’s School for Wayward Children, a refuge for kids who have traveled through magical doorways to other worlds. Antsy has the rare ability to find anything—including doors. When a manipulative classmate tries to use her power, Antsy escapes with a small group of friends to return to the Shop Where the Lost Things Go and ensure old promises are kept.

Their journey takes them through strange and beautiful worlds—some filled with painful memories, others ancient and mysterious. Along the way, the group discovers that what they think they want may not be what they truly need. Friendships deepen, identities shift, and several lives are changed forever.

The story explores belonging, choice, and the search for home in worlds both magical and real.
