If I could rate this book a 6, I would! This was a great read that included so much diversity and I loved the message it was trying to present. The theme being: love others no matter what, even if you don’t understand them. I also believe the author included another theme: people are afraid of what they don’t understand. As someone who works with children and sees the corrupt foster care system, I encourage all to read. It is enlightening and also very funny. It was lighthearted while also touching on important subjects!

How absolutely wonderful. I was gripped from the beginning. Linus’ dry, witty humor and the world charmed me. Then the island and the family there were overwhelming but glorious, and I fell for them just as Linus did. I love in the audiobook how Linus’ voice got warmer through the story. I got teary toward the end
