Lovely story about found family and courage to stand up for yourself and others. Found myself laughing at several of the interactions and enjoying the story which mainly focuses on character building of children in a orphanage for magical children. I highly recommend listening on audiobook if you are able that narrator does fun voices for the different characters.
