Bookseller recommendation

“Cora hasn’t had a full night’s sleep in weeks; her nightmares of the Drowned Gods won’t let her. Even in the daylight hours, she can just make out their slimy tendrils creeping out of the dark spaces, reaching for her; Eleanor West’s Home for Wayward Children was supposed to help Cora. In a desperate attempt, Cora requests to be transferred to the Whitethorn Institute, another school for kids who return from strange worlds and can’t cope, but this school’s methods are…extreme. ”
— Nicholas • Mysterious Galaxy Books

Summary
About the author

In Where the Drowned Girls Go, the next addition to Seanan McGuire's beloved Wayward Children series, students at an anti-magical school rebel against the oppressive faculty

"Welcome to the Whitethorn Institute. The first step is always admitting you need help, and you’ve already taken that step by requesting a transfer into our company."

There is another school for children who fall through doors and fall back out again.
It isn't as friendly as Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children.
And it isn't as safe.

When Eleanor West decided to open her school, her sanctuary, her "Home for Wayward Children," she knew from the beginning that there would be children she couldn’t save; when Cora decides she needs a different direction, a different fate, a different prophecy, Miss West reluctantly agrees to transfer her to the other school, where things are run very differently by Whitethorn, the Headmaster.

She will soon discover that not all doors are welcoming...
