missingvolume | #70 In an Absent Dream by Seanan McGuire

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.
