New favorite!! 
This is a story about an orphanage for children with magical powers narrated by a forty-something government official with a huge heart. Hence, it is not a children's book (but still ok for older kids/young teens to read).
It was all so cute and the world-building so beautiful, that I couldn’t stop reading it. Too bad, it’s a standalone cause I would love to keep following these character's lives. But I guess TJ Klune’s other books will have to do ;)

Also the audiobook is amazing! Already looking forward to re-listing/re-reading this!
