"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 ... 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."--

Review of 'Down among the sticks and bones' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

4.5/5

I wasn't expecting to like this one more than Every Heart a Doorway, but I did! Jack and Jill weren't my favorite characters from the firs book, so I didn't think I'd be as super sucked into this book as was with EHaD, but I was pleasantly surprised! This leaves me with high hopes for Beneath the Sugar Sky, because Sumi is my favorite character.
