Winner: 2018 Alex Award
Winner: 2018 ALA RUSA Fantasy Award

Seanan McGuire returns to her popular Wayward Children series with Down Among the Sticks and Bones--a truly standalone story suitable for adult and young adult readers of urban fantasy, and the follow-up to the Alex, Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award-winning, World Fantasy Award finalist, Tiptree Honor List book Every Heart a Doorway

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.

Comfy but smelly
Size: King (2 Pack)
These expand quickly and are comfortable, but they smell like chemicals faintly.

Love these pillows!
Size: Queen (2 pack)
I’m a side and stomach sleeper. I’ve bought so many pillows recently trying to find one that doesn’t kill my neck or shoulder. I felt like I was looking for a unicorn. For some reason this pillow just works. It has a higher loft, which I prefer, but it’s also super squishy, which I also prefer. It somehow has the best of both worlds. They feel high quality, are adjustable in terms of density since you can remove as much filling as you want, they actually fill my pillowcases so they’re not flopping around the pillow, and they maintain their shape after a full night of sleeping on them, the price point for two pillows is just right, and best of all, they actually stay cool. I am a hot sleeper so that last point is worth the cost of entry all by itself. I have no neck or shoulder pain after getting a full night’s sleep on these pillows. The only negative is the initial smell of the pillows. It’s pretty strong, but I’m sure this will lessen over time.

As advertised for once! Lol
Color: Cooling Blue Cover, Size: Queen (Pack of 2), Color: Cooling Blue Cover, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
Queen size set of 2 pillows, I'm giving it 5stars first bc it has a good length and width!! If you've ever bought memory foam pillows before you know some are small!! Anyways after having it for 5nights, we loved that me and my huddy could adjust the Thickness amount we had in it to our needs, me needing a thick pillow and my husband needing a flatter one. So this was perfect for that. So far its nice to sleep on, stays cool, doesnt get hot. I would say its on the frimer side but softer the more foam you take out! Really its just good for the amount you spend!! Will it last 10years probably not but what does now a days. This is the only time my huddy n I bought the same pillow and both love it so I'm just still in shock it worked out so well!!

Adjustable pillows
Color: Cooling Blue Cover, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I love these because they don't go flat. You can pull out whatever you need to make them comfy for you. They come in two different layers. So you have that protective cover over the main case that holds the memory foam. They're amazing to sleep on. I have had these last for years without going flat. If you hate flat pillows this is the way to go. They are very easy to wash. You just have to separate layers. They are very thick, you can adjust the thickness. Everyone in my house has at least one. They are worth the money. I have never had to replace them, because they went flat.
