Publishers Weekly

“In this enchanting third installment...the story remains fascinating and provocative. It’s a worthy series addition.”

Buzzfeed on Over the Woodward Wall

"With nods to The Wizard of Oz and Through the Looking Glass, readers of portal fantasy and McGuire’s Wayward Children series will love this unsettling and imaginative adventure."

Den of Geek

"An experimental companion to McGuire’s intricate novel Middlegame, Over the Woodward Wall first came to life as a middle grade story that serves as a pop culture touchstone for the characters in that adult novel. It’s also a story by a master in its own right."

Becky Chambers on Middlegame

"Has an uncanny knack for taking the worst things that lurk in the shadows and weaving them into an absolute delight."

NPR on Every Heart a Doorway

"A mini-masterpiece of portal fantasy―a jewel of a book that deserves to be shelved with Lewis Carroll's and C. S. Lewis' classics"

Charlaine Harris on Every Heart a Doorway

"One of the smartest writers around."
