Beneath the Sugar Sky
returns to Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children. At this magical
boarding school, children who have experienced fantasy adventures are
reintroduced to the "real" world.
Sumi died years before her
prophesied daughter Rini could be born. Rini was born anyway, and now
she’s trying to bring her mother back from a world without magic.
Twin sisters Jack and
Jill were seventeen when they found their way home and were packed off
to Eleanor West’s Home for Wayward Children.
This is the story of what happened first…
Jacqueline
was her mother’s perfect daughter—polite and quiet, always dressed as a
princess. If her mother was sometimes a little strict, it’s because
crafting the perfect daughter takes discipline.
Jillian was her
father’s perfect daughter—adventurous, thrill-seeking, and a bit of a
tom-boy. He really would have preferred a son, but you work with what
you've got.
They were five when they learned that grown-ups can’t be trusted.
They
were twelve when they walked down the impossible staircase and
discovered that the pretense of love can never be enough to prepare you a
life filled with magic in a land filled with mad scientists and death
and choices.
