A very inventive fantasy. Is TJ Klune British? Because this book has a very Monty Python or Harry Potter feel to it. It also at one point reminded me of a scene in The Producers.

This is a book with diversity and outcast characters learning to embrace their identity (whatever that is). I really loved it. (Could it be a film, please? Maybe a musical?) I really recommend this book. It's great fun. ...more

So sweet! All the homophobic a-holes miss a wonderful love story :-)
I love the children. All of them are amazing, wonderful kids, and I'm filled with love to my adoptive children. I can't wait for sequel, of all the adventures of this unusual family, and how they rescue all the children of the world :-)
I love it that not everyone is nice. Not everyone learns anything. Because there are people like that in the world, and the world is still a nice place, and the people who love us are what matters ...more

This book is actually good but I’m really bothered by the relationship to the stealing of Indigenous children from their homes and the torture and murder they faced.
