Summer in Orcus is a young adult/middle grade portal fantasy that I would recommend to fans of Catherynne Valente's Fairyland series. The fantasy land, Orcus, is full of interesting and quirky supernatural creatures and lands, and the heroine, Summer, feels authentic to me as a child protagonist. She enters Orcus with fairly modest goals, carrying with her the influences of her mother's struggle with anxiety. She may not be a warrior or a hero, but she has her own journey to travel, and her own heart's desire to find. Summer's story feels very episodic at times, but I thought it came to a good resolution in the end.
