Where the Drowned Girls Go

[Where the Drowned Girls Go] highlights the horror of a world that requires you to deny what you know to be true because it doesn't quite fit, and it is a fantastic and tension-filled addition to the Wayward Children series. --Booklist

"Outstanding... Throughout Cora's harrowing adventures, McGuire's sense of whimsy never falters... The result will captivate both longtime Wayward Children fans and new readers." --Publishers Weekly starred review

The message of owning one's truth instead of losing one's individuality will resonate. Highly recommended. --Library Journal
