7:100 Beneath the Sugar Sky by Seanan McGuire

Sumi was taken to a land of Nonsense and returned to Earth not able to make sense of things here.  And then she died.  Now her daughter, a daughter from Nonsense before she came back but had not had yet when she arrived, is here looking for her mother.  A mother without whom Rini could not have been born but had not had any children before she died.  Now Rini must find the pieces of her mother, scattered over different worlds (that are also not Nonsense and have their own rules) and convince the Baker of her own Nonsense world to bring her mother back again so that the evil in her world can be destroyed and Rini herself can be born.

It makes no sense to even try something so crazy but then again, that's what Nonsense is all about.  So when Rini shows up looking for her mother at Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children, those who knew Sumi there and even some who didn't but are still looking for ways back to their own worlds chose to go with her on this Nonsense adventure.  And who knows, maybe it's so crazy it just might work.

I really, really loved this one.  I loved the Nonsense of Rini and her world.  I loved watching the others try to fit into worlds where they didn't belong but had gone to in order to help this girl who had shown up out of nowhere.  Something about this book just filled my heart in wonderful ways.
