Seanan McGuire's Wayward Children series explores what happens to children who go to Narnia when they return to Earth.I read the first book in the series (Every Heart a Doorway) as part of the science fiction/fantasy book club at the library, and since then have worked through the other three. They are all stand alone novels, with a different focal character, though there are recurring characters that help to tie everything together. Each book was good in it's own right, but Down Among the Sticks and Bones was probably my favorite among them. I loved the setting in that novel, and the interplay between the two focal characters (Jack and Jill) and their character growth was wonderfully written.
