I adored this book! It was the perfect touch of whimsical while still revealing important lessons with quirky characters. The descriptions were vivid and the dialogue fun.
My one critique is that I think some of the turnaround (or bubble popping) in characters happened a bit too quickly.
Otherwise it was a great book!

A really heartwarming story that made me smile and laugh several times ( even when I was in public/restaurants and people now may think I'm weird).
I loved the characters and the depth to them. I can't wait to get to know them a little bit better in the sequel.
The only thing I can critique is that I would've written the ending a little bit differently. Not because I didn't like it but because I thought it needed a bit more time. Or maybe I just wanted to read more about all of them being happy :').

Probably THE book that got me out of my most recent reading slump. PS: if you’re a little bored in the beginning that means the author’s technique to dull and placate you like this fictional society does is working.

At first the story reminded me a lot of middle grade books, but with more complex thinking and words. Later on it felt more like an actual adult fantasy book.

The book really grew on me and surprised me with the way I was drawn into the storyline.

It made me want to read more and more about what came next.

The development and struggles of the characters is amazingly well thought out.

Beautiful and hopeful book.

I read the first half from the physical book. I listen to the second half on audio. I wish I would have started this on audio from the start...

I adore the children in this book.

This is such a cute story! The magical children are so charming and the main character grew immensely throughout the story. The humor is endearing and there are so many life lessons about kindness, friendship, and being yourself. The first half of the novel is kinda cheesy and slow, but I became more invested as I read on. Very wholesome read :’)

A sweet story with loveable characters. Found some moments between Linus and Arthur sappy, but that’s just me (I’m not really a romantic person). Themes of acceptance, speaking up against unfairness/injustice, and the journey of discovering where one belongs were expressed beautifully through this unique and wholesome story.
