Antsy and her friends at Eleanor West's School for Wayward Children learn that the place she came from, the Shop Where the Lost Things Go, could be a central hub for accessing other worlds and may be the key to helping students find lost doors. Though Antsy is cautious about returning to the Shop, she, Sumi, Cora, Kade, and Christopher are forced to make a quick decision to return after a school bully begins demanding she help her find a lost door. Upon returning, Antsy learns Vineta and Hudson haven't kept their promise, and she sets about turning things to right and helping her friends make choices about returning to their old worlds.

Young Antoinette has lost her father, metaphorically speaking, which means she will not find him in the shop where lost things go: he will never be sitting there among the favorite childhood toys and missing socks and misplaced headphones. Then, "Antsy" finds she has lost herself, literally, and must search through many worlds and doors to escape the shop and discover, as all must, that childhood and innocence cannot be retrieved once they are gone.

On the edge of burnout, Vern decides to return to his family in the Sunshine State to start over.

"The two-headed chicken is back, with twice the adventure, twice the jokes, and a lot more heads (wait, did they just accidentally turn into a double-headed space snake?). Having lost the Astrocap(tm) somewhere in the multiverse, our intrepid hero dons the Timecap(tm) to scour the timestream, which looks a lot like broccoli, in search of it. But danger and drama await with every time-hopping POOZB! of the Timecap(tm), including hungry dinosaurs, fierce werewolves, poet Emily Dickinson, a fish with a mustache who wants to talk about feelings, and even the return of the chicken's archenemy, Kernel Antlers, the shape-shifting moose!"--Provided by publisher.

"Every great city has a soul. A human avatar that embodies their city's heart and wields its magic. New York? She's got six. But all is not well in the city that never sleeps. Though Brooklyn, Manny, Bronca, Venezia, Padmini, and Neek have temporarily managed to stop the Woman in White from invading--and destroying the entire universe in the process--the mysterious capital 'E' Enemy has more subtle powers at her disposal.

In order to defeat him, and the Enemy who holds his purse strings, the avatars will have to join together with the other Great Cities of the world in order to bring her down for good and protect their world from complete destruction"--Provided by publisher.
