#70 In an Absent Dream by Seanan McGuire

[missingvolume]

This series of novellas can really be read out of order so reading this one first will not ruin any of the other stories. Katherine is a bookish girl with no real friends due to her father being the principal at school. One day she finds a door in a tree that takes her to the Goblin Market. Everything is exchanged for fair value and if you don’t give fair value you accrue debt and can become a bird. Katherine goes back and forth between the worlds and can’t wait to make her final decision on her 18th birthday. But everyone wants what they see as a fair value trade from her on both sides of the door. A great story and we meet Lundy again in this one after meeting her in the first book, Every Heart a Doorway.
