What Members Thought
It took me a very long time to get into this book, more than halfway, before I could read more than a couple of chapters at a time. I did end up finishing the book and gave it 3-stars. I don't read a lot of fantasy so keep that in mind. The lesson in accepting people that are different from yourself was done well. I also liked the grayness of Linus's life at work and home and then the color that appeared in his world as he came alive at the orphanage.

All the hype is true. Love, Love, Love!
Best book EVER! Pure happiness threaded into each page! This book will truly warm your heart.
This was a good book with interesting magical characters!
Absolutely delightful!
Favorite quotes:
Chapter 6: "Even tge bravest of us can still be afraid sometimes, so ling as we don't let our fear become all we know."
Chapter 14: "remember to be just & kind.. what those people think won't matter in the long run. Hate is loud, but I think you'll learn its because it is only a few people shouting, desperate to be heard." ...more

This was so lovely and the narrator on the audio added to the delight. It reminded me a bit of Ms Peregrine’s Peculiar Children but less creepy and more sentimental.
This book hit me right in the feels. Wonderful story, wonderful characters.
