Where the Drowned Girls Go by Seanan McGuire is the seventh book in the Wayward Children series. After having traveled to the Moors, Cora is having nightmares and decides to transfer to the Whitethorn Institute the “sister” school to Eleanor West’s where they try to get students to forget about their door and reinter “normal” society.

Cora starts to realize that something is going on at the school and no one knows what happens to the students that don’t graduate, those who still think about and believe in the doors. Whitethorn is very strict and regimented to try and help the students but it doesn’t always work. This book introduces a new, possibly larger villain that could come back.

While I understood why Cora felt she needed to change Whitethorn stifles who is as a person. I didn’t like this one as much as others in the series but it has information that I think will be needed for future stories in the series. Also Cora is not my favorite of the characters and I still feel like there is too much emphasis on her body and size.
