Down Among the Sticks and Bones (Wayward Children, #2)

by Seanan McGuire

Down Among the Sticks and Bones chronicles the lives of two of Every Heart a Doorway's favourite characters before they wind up in the Eleanor West Home for Wayward Children - a place where children who have experienced fantasy adventures can be reintroduced to the 'real' world. In Down Among the Sticks and Bones, twin girls Jack and Jill find themselves thrust into a world of monsters and mad scientists, and something they thought they'd never experience: choice.

Damn that was good This series has been a blast to read.  This is the story of the twins from the first book and could be read before or after the first.  They do stand alone but this explains some of what happens in Every Heart a Doorway.
 
Twins are brought up with rigid stereotypes and then they find a doorway to another world and discover that choices can be complicated.
 
I recommend this series.
