The Up-and-Under series brings Seanan McGuire’s portal fantasy interests to a middle-grade audience. Starting with Over the Woodward Wall (2020), the four books follow children who discover a world beneath the ordinary one, accessible through impossible doorways. Each book explores a different aspect of this hidden realm.
The series shares DNA with McGuire’s Wayward Children books — both deal with portal worlds and the children who find them — but targets younger readers with age-appropriate storytelling. Along the Saltwise Sea, Into the Windwracked Wilds, and Under the Smokestrewn Sky complete the quartet.
