Every Heart a Doorway is the first novel in the Wayward Children series written by Seanan McGuire. What happens to children who go through the wardrobe, or fall through the looking glass, and then come back? Well, some of them go to Eleanor West's school, where no one tries to make them be normal or tells them their worlds weren't real, and where they might just find a way back home.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Nancy is Eleanor's newest student. She went through a doorway to the Halls of the Dead. When she asked to stay forever, the Lord told her to be sure—and sent her back to Earth. Her parents don't understand why she won't eat a full meal or wear bright colours, so they pack her off to boarding school. There she quickly befriends several other students: Sumi, a madcap girl who went to someplace like Wonderland; Kade, the exiled Goblin Prince in Waiting; Jack and Jill, twins who went to a horror-movie world called the Moors; and Christopher, who became engaged in the world of Día de Muertos. Nancy is just settling in when a classmate is brutally murdered. Who is it? What do they want? And can they be stopped before it's too late? | |

Abusive Parents | |

Abusive Parents: It's strongly implied that a number of the students' parents are not actually very good parents at all. Nancy's parents are the nicest ones we encounter, and they are oblivious to their daughter's asexuality and take away her clothes of choice to force her to wear things that make her look more like their "little girl". Sumi has childhood pictures of herself looking very sad, still, and meek. Kade's parents misgender him and refuse to take him back unless he presents as female according to their wishes. Jack and Jill's parents are implied to be the worst of all, and almost certainly contributed to one of their children becoming a monster and a serial killer and the other becoming a sororicidal mad scientist and then Down Among the Sticks and Bones would show them both to be assholes who thought of children as extensions of themselves rather than individuals with their own inner worlds. Eleanor believes this may be a factor in what kids get taken: because they are abused into minimizing parts of themselves, the world they need calls all the more to them. | |
