See you later Eleanor, Nancy’s back and we’re all going on a quest! It’ll be great. After all, how dangerous could the Halls of the Dead be for a gang of living teens?
That’s right kids, Nancy’s back! Nancy’s been perfecting her standing stillness as a living statue in the Halls of the Dead since her Door reappeared way back in book three. She is still very sure that she’s where she’s meant to be. However the unquiet dead are suddenly on the rampage and living statues are being killed. The Lord and Lady are helpless and so send Nancy to run through a Door and get help. Luckily Nancy’s old friends are ready and willing to lend a hand to save her world.
It was so nice to check in with Nancy again and learn that she had spent the past many many years (time runs quicker in the Halls of the Dead but her stillness lets her age slow) happy. Her friends are happy to see her as well after some initial resentment passes at how she left them behind when she saw her Door. They probably would do the same though so no one really stays mad. We also get to see a few former characters and you will probably be both happy and sad about it.
This is the eleventh Wayward Children novella and definitely not one of the more stand alone stories; don’t try to jump in here. They’re great though, go back to number one and get started immediately. What are you waiting for!?!
